The Chinchero Quipu of the Proclamation (Wechua: Punta Santiago Rimay Khipu) is the official quipu transcription of the Proclamation of Punta Santiago, housed in the Royal Archive of the Palace of Chinchero in the city of Parap, Wechua Nation. Commissioned by Sapa Wechua and now King of the Federation Manco Cápac immediately following the signing of the Proclamation in 1685 AN, the quipu was created by a council of seven master quipucamayoc working under the direction of the High Priest of the Faith of Inti. The artifact consists of 847 pendant cords organized into twelve primary sections corresponding to the Proclamation's articles, with subsidiary cords encoding the preamble, signatories, and ceremonial attestations. The encoding employs both Classical Wechua legal conventions and specialized diplomatic notation developed specifically for this purpose.
The Chinchero Quipu holds constitutional significance as the authoritative Wechua-language version of the federation's founding document. Under the terms of the Proclamation itself, the quipu version carries equal legal force to the written Alexandrian and Martino texts, a principle later affirmed in Ayllu Qollana v. Regional Ministry of Lands (1703 AN). The artifact is displayed publicly during the annual commemoration of the federation's founding and during royal coronations, when the new monarch's oath is read from both the written text and the quipu. Conservation efforts led by the Royal Academy of the Wechua Language have maintained the artifact in excellent condition, though certain cords showing wear were reinforced in 1742 AN using period-appropriate materials and techniques.
