Objektbeschreibung
No. of pendants: 23
Groups: none
Colors: tans, blue
Color combinations: monochrome, speckled, Spiral, spliced
Strings: main, pendants, secondaries, tertiaries
Ply: S
Diameter: main2,5mm, pendants etc. 1,5-4mm
The pendants are tied to the main with single knots and cut off as close as possible to the main. At the beginning of the pend. the main is cut and at the end of the pend. the main is tied in a single knot.
Knots:1/1 endknots (like a single knot), 1/2 endknots (a single knot securing the pendant tied with only part of the pendant as active), 8, long knots (Z), single knots (Z)
On a number of pend. there are longknots, with the yarn that normally goes on the outside of the windings here going inside the windings. Some pend. has both the normal and this special longknot. All have a single knot under the longknots. A secondary is tied around two pendants - these two pendants also are tied together twice in single knots.
Many tertiaries - all in all, a weird quipu.
