Aztec Headdress in Austria
An Aztec Headdress in Austria (Feathered headdress, Aztec, reproduction, Original-early 16th century, National Anthropology Museum, Mexico City) This shows a beautiful replica of what is known as "Moctezuma's headdress" or, the headdress said to have been worn by him. Moctezuma was the last emperor of the Aztec empire, he's known for his immense power as a ruler and his battle with the Spanish. This headdress being an Aztec creation, could have possibly been the very one Moctezuma wore. This image shows the replica, the original Aztec headdress is actually far away from where it originated; to this day the headdress sits in the World Museum, in Vienna Austria, in a display case where this item can't truly shine. This headdress should be where it belongs, back in Mexico City, where Tenoschitlan would have been. Not only because this, is where it came from, but also because the Spanish Conquistador Hernan Cortez took and sent this to Europe, due to its beauty. Alt
