Notes:
This khipu is part of a set (UR087, UR088, UR089, UR090, UR091, UR092) that were analyzed by Manual Medrano in his article Toward the Decipherment of a Set of Mid-Colonial Khipus from the Santa Valley, Coastal Peru.

2. There is quite a bit of breakage and disintegration on this khipu, especially around the dark brown colors.
3. By looking at the tops of the pendants it appears that there is significant fading.
