In the Caller's Box, petronella to the left is notated as
   "reverse petronella turn"
https://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/thecallersbox/Glossary.htm#reverse-petronella-turn

We've currently got 33 dances containing that figure, of which one is by
Joseph Pimentel: "A Balanced Tern", from "The Goldcrest Collection".

Its A1 is:
     ring balance, petronella right
     ring balance, petronella left

So that might be the dance you're looking for.
