A large, dark bronze-colored statue of a seated male figure, identified as the Monumento al Quipucamayoc, is centrally depicted at the Plaza de Wanchaq in the city of Wanchaq, Cusco, Peru. The figure, facing slightly right and upwards, is cross-legged and wears a tunic with intricate geometric patterns on its lower portion, along with a headpiece. Its arms are raised, holding a quipu; the left arm supports a horizontal main cord from which multiple vertical, multi-colored knotted cords descend, while the right hand manipulates another section of the cordage system. The quipu displays various knot types. The statue rests on a prominent red base inscribed with three lines of gold-colored block letters: "AMA SUA," "AMA LLULLA," and "AMA QELLA." Two stylized dark feline statues flank the base's lower corners. The background consists of a clear blue sky with sparse white clouds, a building featuring a dark blue corrugated roof, and green foliage to the left of the statue's base. The scene is illuminated by direct sunlight.
