Mexico Aztec headdress could go home from Austria
A headdress said to have belonged to the last Aztec emperor could return to Mexico temporarily from Austria after the Mexican senate changed its rules.
The headdress is believed to be a gift from Montezuma to 16th Century Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes.
It is made of quetzal and other feathers mounted on a base of gold studded with precious stones.
Mexico usually sees pre-Conquest relics as national property, and if returned must stay in the country.
