香港(美聯社)——蘇富比延後拍賣一些和佛陀有關的珠寶,因為印度政府不同意這次拍賣,並要求他們立刻停止。

拍賣行表示,這些用於拍賣的寶石和佛陀的遺物一起埋在一個叫做舍利器的容器裡。它們在1898年於印度北部被發現。這些珠寶的歷史可以追溯到大約公元前240到200年。

不過,印度文化部週二在臉書上發文說,他們已經告訴蘇富比香港,要他們立刻停止這場拍賣。他們認為拍賣違反了「印度法律、國際規範和聯合國公約」。

他們寫信給蘇富比香港,說這次拍賣的佛教聖物對印度和全世界的佛教徒來說,是非常重要的宗教和文化遺產。信中要求把這些聖物還給印度政府,並要求拍賣公司和 Chris Peppé 公開說對不起。

值得一提的是,Chris Peppé是William Peppé的曾孫。William Peppé以前曾幫忙挖出這些東西。

信中也說,如果不照做,就會有法律問題,而且會有人發起活動,告訴大家拍賣行在「繼續殖民地的不公平行為,以及販賣宗教物品」中的問題。

蘇富比拍賣行說,因為印度政府有問題,他們會延後拍賣。蘇富比也說,東西的主人同意這樣做。

聲明說,這能讓雙方討論,他們期待分享最新消息。

星期三,蘇富比網站上一些關於這次拍賣的頁面已經打不開了。

印度文化部星期三在臉書上說,他們介入以後,很高興知道拍賣會延後了。
