Ascher Databook Notes:
This is one of several khipus acquired by the Museum in 1907 with provenance Ica. For a list of them, see

.
Some values on the khipu are sums of values on later consecutive pendants. Namely:
P

= P
3
+ P

P

= P

One value is the sum of the squares of values on later consecutive pendants:
\[ P_{2} = \sum\limits_{i=4}^{11} P_{i}^2 \]
