Ascher Databook Notes:
  1. AS087, AS089, AS090/N2, AS092, AS093, AS094 are associates in that the Museum designates them all as donated by Gaffron, and gives the provenance as Peru. For a comparison of them, see AS087.
  2. By spacing, AS092 is separated into 10 groups. The first 8 groups each have 6 pendants with the same color pattern (W, MB, MB:W, W, W, W).
  3. In all 10 groups, the first pendant has the maximum value.
  4. Position by position, the pendant values in group 1 are larger than those in group 4, which are larger than those in group 3, which are larger than those in group 2. That is:
    P1i>P4i>P3i>P2ifori=(2,3,4,...,8)
  5. In a few cases, the sums of values in the same position in pairs of consecutive groups are equal. Namely:
    P4i+P5i=P6i+P7ifori=(1,4)
    P2i+P3i=P6i+P7ifori=(4,6)
