fiberboard, cord
purchased from V. Rogić, 1958
inv. no.: 76

On a fiberboard shaped like the Latin letter "S," a rope with knots is laid out, representing the alphabet of ribbon or knot writing. Each letter is marked by a different type of knot. This knot-based alphabet is created by tying knots on a ribbon, with the shape, size, and position of the knots indicating individual speech elements, i.e., sounds.

The item was purchased for the museum from V. Rogić in 1958. A replica of the Ribbon Writing System is available for touch on the exhibition table, created in 2007 according to the original by the Croatian Conservation Institute.
