Abstract:	The master thesis deals with two pre-Columbian shields of the State Museum Württemberg Stuttgart, which are decorated with feather mosaic. They are unique examples of feather art (Ars Plumaria). The study focuses on a material analysis and the investigation of the manufacturing techniques of both shields. Amongst others, the correct orientation, the way the shields were used and their dating is clarified. In addition, their collection and exhibition history is reconstructed and a temporal assessment of their previous restorations is carried out. The results form the basis for comparative studies with the few other extant old-Mexican feather objects. A concept was developed for the museum to preserve the feather shields for future generations. Top
