| Notes: |
Ascher Databook Notes:
- Construction note: The B main cord is extended by a W main cord. The W main cord is formed into a large loop by being passed through its own twisted end. It has also been passed through the twisted end of the B main cord so that it dangles from the end of the B cord.\
- This is one of several khipus acquired by the Museum in 1907 with provenance Ica. For a list of these khipus, see KH00110.
- KH0177 and KH0179 are designated by the same Museum number. The main cord of KH0177 is looped in the same way as is the W main cord of KH0179
