More than 1,000 Mexican artworks, some dating from pre-Columbian times and which were sent to Germany and Austria over the last four centuries, have been documented for the first time in a digital catalogue.

The compilation includes the Dresden Mayan Codex, acquired in the 17th century in Vienna, as well as various objects of feather-art, among them a purported plumed headdress of Moctezuma that “has absolutely no connection with the Aztec emperor,” researcher Miguel Gleason, who created the catalogue, told Efe.
