Primary Cord Notes:
Formed in loop, starts with opened end (unraveled ply) for knotting circular loop together. At 27.0cm, end passes through looped end to form knotted loop, with 33cm left dangling with knotted end.

Red(R0) pigment on khipu cords could have been wider bands when it was made; there are flecks of red within some of the YB portions of the pendant cords.
