Batik-style fabric wall hanging with rhinos, tree, and moon - trying to ID the artist/origin

I picked this up at an estate sale and believe it's authentic wax-resist batik on cotton, not just a printed reproduction. It measures 33" x 16" and features two rhinoceroses under a bare tree with a full moon, done in blue-gray and cream tones.

There's an artist signature on the fabric (see close-up photo) but I can't make it out clearly enough to identify. The edges are raw/unhemmed, which I believe is typical of how these are finished.

Does anyone recognize the style, artist signature, or region this might be from? Any info on approximate age or value would help too. Happy to post more detail photos if useful. Thanks!

Help identifying pressing — Ravel Complete Orchestral Works, Cluytens, Columbia SAX 2476-9 (4LP box)

Hi all — I picked up a complete 4-LP box set of "The Complete Orchestral Works of Ravel," Paris Conservatoire Orchestra/René Duclos Choir conducted by André Cluytens, on Columbia (SAX 2476-9), UK stereo, Made in Gt. Britain.

All four volumes are present:
Vol 1 (SAX 2476): Daphnis et Chloé
Vol 2 (SAX 2477): Boléro, Rapsodie Espagnole, La Valse
Vol 3 (SAX 2478): Ma Mère l'Oye, Valses Nobles et Sentimentales
Vol 4 (SAX 2479): Le Tombeau de Couperin, Alborada del Gracioso, Une Barque sur l'Océan, Pavane pour une Enfante Défunte

I've seen this catalog number described online as a "Blue and Silver" first UK pressing that can be quite valuable, versus later reissues. The labels on mine look baby blue and silver but it's not photographing that way.

Could anyone help me confirm whether this is the original 1963 first pressing (Blue/Silver label) versus a later reissue? Happy to post more detailed photos of the labels, runout/matrix area near the center hole, or the box itself if that helps. Trying to price this accurately before I list it and don't want to under- or over-sell it.

Thanks in advance for any expertise!

We found this at an estate sale yesterday and plan to resell. It seem to mostly work but I would like to get it worked on and working great. Anyone have any idea who would be able to do that in the Austin, Tx area? Ignore image 2 :)
