Notes:
Ascher Databook Notes:
  1. Construction note: P4s1 is a pendant 21 cm. long attached to the bottom of pendant 4. It appears to be a recent attachment.
  2. Construction note: The color designation W/RM refers to a white cord with thin thread wrapped around it. The thread wrapping forms a.5 cm. wide band from 2.5 cm.-3.0 cm.
  3. This khipu and AS020 are not, to our knowledge, associated, yet they are given identical numbers SA4034 by the owner.
  4. A photograph of this khipu appears in Locke (1923) Plate XL along with a one line description on p. 29.
