Khipu Notes:
Fieldguide Notes:

Khipu 2 of 3 (three khipus tied together).

The mottled cords are the style and thickness of pendant cords and, based on their colour codes YB:DB and PR:FB, were most likely cords 24 and 25 in the third group; their colours match the penultimate and ultimate colour of both group one and two, which are missing from group 3.

All cords appear to be made of cotton
