香港(美聯社)——蘇富比週三宣布推遲原定與佛陀遺骨相關的珠寶拍賣會,此舉是為了因應印度政府方面提出的反對意見及其對拍賣進行的即刻叫停要求。

拍賣行闡明,待拍的寶石,據悉曾與歷史上佛陀的舍利一同封藏於舍利塔內,該舍利塔於公元1898年於印度北部出土,而這些珍寶的年代則可追溯至公元前240年至200年間。

儘管如此,印度文化部週二仍於社群媒體平台Facebook上發表聲明,透露其已向香港蘇富比拍賣行發出法律函件,要求其即刻中止該次拍賣,並嚴厲指控此次銷售行為「牴觸印度法律、國際慣例及聯合國相關公約」。

於寄送予蘇富比香港、並在週一透過Facebook發布之函件中,該部闡明該拍賣涉及殊勝佛教文物,此等文物實為印度以迄全球佛教社群無可分離之宗教與文化傳承,遂要求將其歸還印度政府,並對拍賣行及Chris Peppé提出公開致歉之要求。

值得玩味的是,Chris Peppé乃是英國William Peppé的曾孫,而William Peppé正是在這些遺物的考古發掘中扮演了舉足輕重的角色。

該信函進一步措辭嚴厲地警示,倘若對其訴求置若罔聞,必將觸發司法訴訟與公眾運動之雙重夾擊,此舉旨在將該拍賣行在「延續殖民地之不義行徑及參與不道義之宗教遺物交易」中所扮演的角色,曝露於眾目睽睽之下,無所遁形。

蘇富比週三發布聲明,闡明其決定推遲該場拍賣係因認同印度政府所提之相關疑慮,並表示此舉已徵得寄售人之同意。

聲明中闡述道:「此舉將為雙方開闢對話的契機,我們殷切期盼能於時機成熟之際分享任何後續事態發展。」

蘇富比若干與此拍賣攸關之網路頁面,至週三已然不復可供檢索。

印度文化部週三透過其官方Facebook頁面發布聲明,對於在積極斡旋後獲悉拍賣已無限期延宕一事,表達了深切的欣慰與讚賞。
