Photo Archive

     
 

This archive includes photos of 20 quipus. For each of these quipus, the Databooks contain details of the current whereabouts of the quipu, cord position, cord colors, knot types and positions, cord length, observations, and other data. For some of them, and for some other quipus, there are close-ups of construction details and photos of associated artifacts.
