홍콩 (AP) — 수요일 소더비는 인도 정부가 유물 판매에 이의를 제기하며 즉각적인 중지를 요구한 것에 대응하여, 부처의 유해와 결부된 보석 경매를 잠정적으로 연기하였다고 공표했다.

경매 주관사는 출품될 보석들이 기원전 240년에서 200년경에 제작되었으며, 1898년 인도 북부에서 발견된 역사적 부처의 사리함과 함께 매장되어 있던 성유물에서 발굴되었다고 피력했다.

Nonetheless, the Indian Ministry of Culture, in a Facebook communiqué disseminated on Tuesday, declared it had dispatched a legal injunction to Sotheby's Hong Kong branch, mandating the immediate cessation of the impending auction. The Ministry vociferously denounced the auction as an affront to "Indian laws, international norms and UN conventions," positing that it encompassed sacrosanct Buddhist relics, which are an inalienable religious and cultural patrimony of the Buddhist community both within India and globally.

In a missive dispatched to Sotheby's Hong Kong branch on Monday, the Indian government peremptorily demanded the repatriation of the sacred artifacts slated for auction, along with a public apology from both the auction house and Chris Peppé, purportedly the great-grandson of William Peppé, the Englishman credited with the original excavation of these relics.

인도 정부는 서한을 통해, 만일 요구에 부응하지 않을 시, 법적 대응과 더불어 해당 경매 회사가 "식민 시대의 부당한 행태를 답습하고 종교적 유물의 비도덕적 매각에 가담하는 소행"이라는 공론의 장을 마련할 것임을 천명하며 경고하였다.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Sotheby's acknowledged the concerns raised by the Indian government, stating that the postponement of the auction was effectuated by mutual accord with the consignors.

이번 조치는 당사자 간 심도 있는 협의의 장을 구축할 것이며, 중대한 업데이트가 발생 시 지체 없이 공유할 방침이라고 천명하였다.

수요일 기점을 필두로, 소더비 경매 관련 웹페이지의 일부가 더 이상 접근 불가능한 상태에 이르렀다.

인도 문화부는 수요일 페이스북을 통해 이번 개입의 결과로 경매가 연기되었음을 '지극히 만족스럽게 공표한다'고 표명했다.
