Pamor might be ganggang/ganggeng kanyut - floating algae.
Dhapur might be sempaner/sepaner/sempana bener/supana bener, a complete ricikan for the dhapur is is kembang kacang, jalen, lambe gajah, tikel alis, ri pandan (some not clearly/no longer visible on this particular piece). A popular dhapur.

Its not just the blumbangan, I just mentioned that in passing because its the most obvious, there's a heap of other indicators too.
