It is a Mermaid playing with a fish. We will never know what story Miss Weber would have put with this Batik, as Miss Weber is no longer with us. This Batick is part of Miss Weber's Estate. It was done by Miss Weber in the Wax Method. She covered with wax the colors she wanted to protect from the next Round of Dyeing. To my knowlege Miss Weber only made three Batiks.

She is listed there in the Archives. She was a Graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art. Miss Weber is an Internationally known Photographer with her Photographs in Smithsonian Archives. She is also in the Ohio Women's Hall of Fame. I am including two copies of the covers of Sotheby's Catalogues where her photographs were auctioned, also a copy of a Photographic Portrait of her.
