In The Contested Crown, Khadija von Zinnennburg Carroll meditates on the case of a spectacular feather headdress believed to have belonged to Montezuma, the last emperor of the Aztecs. This crown has long been the center of political and cultural power struggles, and it is one of the most contested museum claims between Europe and the Americas. Taken to Europe during the conquest of Mexico, it was placed at Ambras Castle, the Habsburg residence of the author?s ancestors, and is now in Vienna?s Welt Museum. Mexico has long requested to have it back, but the Welt Museum uses science to insist it is too fragile to travel. Both the biography of a cultural object and a history of collecting and colonizing, this book offers an artist?s perspective on the creative potentials of repatriation. Carroll compares Holocaust and colonial ethical claims, and she considers relationships between indigenous people, international law and the museums that amass global treasures, the significance of copies, and how conservation science shapes collections. Illustrated with diagrams and rare archival material, this book brings together global history, European history, and material culture around this fascinating object and the debates about repatriation. 606 $aMoctezuma's headdress 606 $aAnthropological museums and collections 606 $aCrowns 606 $aCultural property$xRepatriation 606 $aCultural property 606 $aFeatherwork$zMexico 610 $arepatriation, feather headdress, mexico, europe, colonialism, history, aztec, montezuma, emperor, exhibition, ownership, possession, ambras castle, welt museum, conquest, seizure, dispossession, holocaust, looting, ethics, reparation, nonfiction, indigenous, international law, collection, material culture, crown, anthropology, el penacho, replica. 615 0$aMoctezuma's headdress. 615 0$aAnthropological museums and collections. 615 0$aCrowns. 615 0$aCultural property$xRepatriation. 615 0$aCultural property. 615 0$aFeatherwork 676 $a972.018 700 $aCarroll$b Khadija von Zinnenburg$f1980-$0933904 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910727268503321 996 $aThe contested crown$93382055 997 $aUNINA
