Despite careful restoration process which was submitted in 2012 by Mexican and Austrian experts, Plume Moctezuma, considered the sumptuous banner of ancient Mexico, will stay in Austria, since there are no ideal conditions of airlift , sea or land.
This has been informed by the documentary "The Tuft of Moctezuma, plumaria of Ancient Mexico", in which a vibration study notes that the quetzal feathers decorated and inlaid with gold, silver and copper, in extreme fragility and would not support a move in any of these means.
Projected during the meeting Feather mosaic Conservation, held at the National School of Conservation, Restoration and Museology (ENCRyM), Mary Forgot Moreno, one of the experts who participated in the restoration process, said that would cause minimal vibration Specimen irreparable harm.
"He concluded that today, the Tufts-Vienna-living has a comfortable life, because in this dynamic new museum infrastructure and vibrations to which it is subject are null. You can shake or passing train collection and moves, but the part no.
"The subject of vibrations is sensitive for several reasons, the first is that the edges of the metallic elements, especially gold discs are sharp and irregular, so that when in contact with vibration and the cut feathers "said the expert of the Institute of Aesthetic Research of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
Another reason, said, is that of the 29 fractures having the piece where the rods are placed quetzal feathers, according to studies of rays 'X', the first mechanical provocation whiskers fall.
Moreover, that with a terribly transfer vibrations increase and would cause feather barbs were detached from your cannon added Olvido Moreno.
The vibration of the study, he said, is an integral part of a risk model that held the group of Austrian and Mexican experts, who concluded that "the problem of vibration is the setting for transfers. No matter if it is by boat, bus or plane, "he said.
He noted that in late 2015 the study of vibrations in New York will be presented during a meeting on Heritage in Motion.
"The plume was made to move, bent, rolled and danced with him at the ceremonies, but that was 500 years ago and today any move could significantly affect her," he said.
In the documentary, directed by Jaime Kuri and released a few days ago by TV UNAM, Olvido Moreno said the plume is "not aging at an accelerated pace, but a natural process, and the restoration of 2012 we think that at least 500 live years. "
The film will also include testimonies of various specialists of pre-Hispanic period, including the renowned Mexican archeologist Eduardo Matos Moctezuma, and myths are revealed about this piece of great beauty
