Answer:

A typical quipu consists of a horizontal string or even wooden bar, from which hang any number of knotted and coloured strings made from either cotton or wool

Step-by-step explanation:

Some of the larger quipu have as many as 1500 strings, and these could also be woven in different ways suggesting this, too, had a meaning
