Baessler-Archiv, Neue Folge, Band XLVII (1999) 53 At this time, some authors, such as Uhle, or the Italian scholar, Giglioli, suspected possible quipus counterfeits. Yet, their opinions were not pursued because the data in the 19th century was still insufficient. In 1923, following Giglioli’s opinions, Leland Locke also alluded to the existence of spurious quipus, 28 The Quipola played an important role then as they were useful as models for the authentication of the cords with knots that were being shown throughout Europe. However, one of the policies of the Königliches Museum für Völker kunde Berlin was to accept other types of cords with knots, not necessarily bearing resemblance to the quipolas. Thus, in 1878, the Director of the Königliches Museum für Völkerkunde, Adolf Bastian, donated a true quipu, totally different to the ten or so objects deposited there, to a collection which up to then had consisted of only quipolas. It would be necessary to wait until 1884 for a defini tive authentication of this piece. In fact, that year, the prominent Peruvian collector and medical doctor, José Mariano Macedo, donated a quipu which confirmed, on a technical level, the authenticity of the quipu donated in 1878 (Fig. 6). 29 Later on, grants by the German ethnologist and explorer, Arthur Baessler (1857-1907), permitted a better understanding of 33 Peruvian quipus. 30 In 1907, the Museum received the collection of the German trader Wilhelm Gretzer ( 1847-1926). Within a year, attributable to Julius van den Zypen’s patronage, the collection increased to 298 additional quipus, which were part of a total acquisition of 27,254 archeological objects. A systematic review of the quipus collected by Gretzer provided me with interesting data. Gretzer had a quipola mixed in with the Peruvian quipus. Unfortunately, no data about the conditions under which this European object was acquired is available. It is clear, however, that Gretzer, although one of the most astute and knowledgeable individuals about ancient Peruvian objects at that time, succumbed to the myth of the quipolas, just as did many other specialists. 28 L.
