Notes:
Ascher Databook Notes:
  1. KH0107 and KH0106 are associated. The twisted ends of their main cords are loosely tied together. Also, both are given the same Museum number.
  2. KH0100, KH0102, KH0103, KH0105/N2, KH0106, KH0107 are associated in that the Museum designates them all as donated by Gaffron, and gives Peru as the provenance. For a comparison of them, see KH0100.
  3. The khipu consists of 6 pendants of color B. Each pendant has 6 subsidiaries. The subsidiaries are attached to the pendants in the same color order (B, B, B, BB:W, B, B) with one exception where there is a BB instead of a B. Nine of the subsidiaries have a subsidiary. They are all BB with the one exception where the color is B.
  4. The values on the khipu are all 0-8. (No values of 5 or 6 are present.)
