EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of ancient Peruvian history - the Peruvian Quipo. These coloured cords, adorned with intricate knots at specific points, were used by the ancient Peruvians and Mexicans as a form of non-verbal communication. Dating back to BCE times, these quipos played a crucial role in regional communications and enabled individuals to convey messages without using verbal language.
The vibrant colours and detailed knots on the quipo are not just decorative elements but hold significant meaning in this historical form of communication. Each cord and knot would represent different information or concepts, allowing for complex messages to be conveyed through this unique system.
