40 SPOLIA ZEYLANICA. 
stock-drill weights from Ceylon will be found in ‘ Medizval 
Sinhalese Art,” fig. 91, and in Mr. Parker’s ‘‘ Ancient Ceylon,” 
figs. 240, 241. 
The present specimen is said to have belonged to Devendra 
Mulacariya, and was obtained from one of his descendants. 
PHOTOGRAPH OF A KANDYAN KENDTIYA. 
The accompanying photograph of a kendiya was taken some 
years ago by Messrs. Skeen & Co., and lately given to me by Mr. 
F. Skeen ; the present whereabouts of the original is unknown. It 
represents a fine specimen, probably made in silver, and no doubt 
formerly the property of a Buddhist temple. It is scarcely dis- 
tinguished in form from an ordinary kotalaya, except by the presence 
of a lid. 
FILIGREE AND OTHER BREADS. 
The great variety of beautiful gold beads found in Kandyan 
jewellery, whether of local or Tamil origin, is very remarkable, and 
I illustrate here a selection, which should not, however, be regarded 
as exhausting all the varieties obtainable. All the principal types 
are known by name. Any filigree bead is wayiramuni ; one with 
stars (No. 1) is called taruka wayiramuni, ‘ star filigree bead”; one 
with dots (No. 16) is called arimbu wayiramuni ,‘‘ dot filigree bead ”’ ; 
one chased like No. 4 arimbu surulu wayiramuni (but this appears to 
be an error, as this is not actually a filigree bead, but belongs to the 
other class). 
Beads other than filigree are called bubul. Ribbed varieties 
(Nos. 14, 19, and 21) are called reli bubul, ‘‘ waved beads,” or ‘‘ un- 
dulated ”’ ; those with a sharp angle, diamond-shaped in section, are 
called dippatan, ‘‘ two-facetted”’; those chased (Nos. 3 and 7) are 
called ketayan bubul, ‘‘ chased beads,” or ‘‘ cut beads” ; those covered 
with dots, arimbu bubul, ‘‘ dotted beads”? (No. 5). All these are 
made in two halves, and soldered along the median line. They are, 
of course, hollow, and very light and delicate. 
Another small Kandyan bead, not shown here, is the gotamunt, 
resembling a grain of rice in size and shape ; these are made, not in 
two halves, but by rolling round a piece of thin gold of the requisite 
size upon itself. 
The following are some names of gold necklaces, additional to those 
given in my ‘‘ Medizeval Sinhalese Art.’ I should have been glad to 
illustrate some, but could not obtain permission to take the photo- 
graphs of the jewellery at the Dalada Maligawa, from a list of which 
the names are taken. The names are: muna-mal malaya, pusu- 
vandan malaya, hunu-vel malaya, dan-vel malaya, arimbu surul 
malaya, mohana malaya, sakra malaya, torapat sangili malaya, 
sinamuni malaya. The previously recorded names, peti malaya,
