“I recommended that she insist on the Moctezuma plume, although it is an almost impossible mission, since they have completely appropriated it,” he wrote after posting a photograph of Gutierrez with Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen.

It is unclear exactly how the headdress, made of hundreds of long quetzal feathers and more than 1,000 gold plaques, ended up in Austria, where it is on display at a museum in Vienna.

Historians believe that Emperor Moctezuma, who ruled from 1502 to 1520, probably gave the plume to Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés who took it to Europe.

President Lopez Obrador’s plea came on the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the Americas in 1492, which in Mexico is marked as Dia de la Raza (Day of the Race) in recognition of the country’s mixed indigenous and European heritage.
