Cord Notes


Primary Cord is severed after p55
Cords labeled as "blue" are rather green. Faded or originally green.
There are 2 registers of knots on the cords and they seem to lie on the same plane from pendant to pendant.
This is a fragment of a larger khipu.
The way in which we have described the object above could be backwards; there is no knotted or plied main cord to end to judge orientation.
Some strings are bent as if once knotted differently.
"3" is the most common knot value on a cord. Other than that, no units digit goes above "5" and the 10s values range from 10-35.
Two "place marker" strings in this khipu - not sure of use.
