Description
Binduva (බිඳුව) or "drop, spot or speck" is the name for a Sinhalese decorative motif common in lacquer work that consists of diamond-shaped spots.1

Tani binduva or binduva lacquer work decoration on a Sinhalese cane.
Sold by Mandarin Mansion in 2020.
Coomaraswamy mentions a related pattern that called gal-bindu (බිඳුව) or "stone drops" which looks like this:
Gal-bindu lacquer work decoration on the shaft of a Sinhalese patisthānaya.
Sold by Mandarin Mansion in 2019.
The patisthānaya in full.
In a Sinhalese-English dictionary of 1892, bindu and binduva are said to be synonymous so perhaps the appearance of both patterns under different names in Coomaraswamy's work was unintentional.2
