I purchased a couple of pieces of batik from an estate recently. This family spent time in Indonesia a number of years ago, and brought some fabric home with them. Any help with the pictured piece would be greatly appreciated. There is a signature as shown, but I can't find any information based on the signature. I know there was someone here (Ownedbybear, or something similar) with loads of knowledge about ethnic textiles, but I know things have slowed terribly in the last few years.

I used to be more familiar with this stuff but I am not positive this is batik but more likely block printed. But maybe poke aorund the internet and see what you can see. It looks like the block printed fabrics I used to buy back in the 1960s. Some made earlier, maybe 1940s or so. Some later. But I could be wrong. The signature definitely loks block printed.
