Khipu Notes:
Fieldguide Notes:

This khipus has 2 interesting field-marks:
  1. Each group is in (roughly) sorted descending order.
  2. Each cord in the left group is (roughly) greater than the right group.

Ascher Databook Notes:
  1. This khipu and AS018 are not, to our knowledge, associated, but are given identical numbers SA4034 by the owner.
  2. By spacing there are 2 groups of 5 pendants each.
  3. Both groups have the same color pattern-—-B,W,B,B,B:W.
  4. Represent the value on the pendant in group i at position j by
    Vijwherei=1,2;j=1,2,...,5
    1. Comparison between groups:
      V1j>V2jforj=1,3,4,5
    2. Comparison within groups:
      Vi1>Vi2andVi1>Vi3>Vi4>Vi5fori=1,2
