Default does anyone recognize this pamor?

What is the correct name of this pamor?
I’m having trouble finding the correct information,

The only information I have found gives a good description but I do not know if the name is correct.
(I tried to accentuate the small round balls, so that the repeated pattern is more visible)

the description that I have found:

Wedi Malelo (black sand)
The image of pamor Wedi Malelo is built by small round balls along the edge of the blade and it is together with another pamor motif in the centre. Pamor Wedi Malelo is a strange pamor motif. If you see it first you think it is Udan Mas.
The magical strength of pamor Wedi Malelo promotes the material prosperity.
Pamor Wedi Malelo is a form of Pamor Mlumah and Rekan. Therefore it belongs to the chosen pamor motifs and is not intended for everyone.

is the middle pamor not too thick for bonang rinenteng?

I thought that bonang rinenteng had a narrow central pamor
with the dots placed more in the middle,
