About this work
A color plate from the Bureau of Ethnology's Tenth Annual Report shows a Peruvian quipu, a bundle of colored knotted cords with a brown main cord, above a brown panel of birch bark. The bark bears light incised outlines of two figures seated in a boat, with vertical marks around them. The plate is credited to Garrick Mallery and dated 1894.
