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
These khipus are discussed in the following videos:
