An undated photo from the Vienna museum of ethnology shows the Penacho de Montezuma, a pre-Columbian headdress currently on display in Vienna. Austria and Mexico could be inching closer to a deal over the ownership of the the Penacho de Montezuma officials suggested on January 16, 2010. The Penacho is a headdress of quetzal feathers and gems, part of a collection of 158 items emperor Montezuma in 1519 gave to Spanish conqueror Hernan Cortes, who gave them to Spanish Emperor Carlos V. The Penacho, which wound up in the hands of Archduke Ferdinand of Tyrol in 1590 in Vienna, has become a symbol of the struggle over Mexico's artifacts in foreign museums.
