Notes: | Fragmentary khipu with subsidiary main cord and subsidiary cords Khipu fragment with 2 main cords Includes 2 scrap packages A = 4 fragments; B = 12 fragments Blues here are greenish and faded. Main cord is S-plied dark tan, plied at left and severed at right. Measures 7 inches, 18 centimeters with a light brown subsidiary main cord, almost as large, plied through its own ply. In this way, they are interlocked and become one main cord. The light brown section has a knotted end and measures 10 / 25.5 for a total main cord length of 17 / 43.5. The so-called "blue" strings may have originally been dyed green (as they now appear). Very large knot values, but a lot of broken strings, so perhaps not possible to analyze numbers. |
