Ascher Databook Notes:
- KH0208-KH0215 were purchased by the Museum in 1969 from Louis Slavitz. Their provenance is near Callengo, Ica Valley. They are compared following KH0209.
- By color, the khipu is separated in 2, 2, and 5 pendants: the first 2 are W with KB subsidiaries; the next 2 are KB:W; and the last 5 are W.
- If the value of the 4th pendant is assumed to be 342, then:
P1+P2 = P3+P4+P5+P6+P7+P8.
