苏富比公司周三决定推迟原计划举行的与佛陀遗物相关的珠宝拍卖,此前印度政府对此表示反对并要求停止出售。

拍卖行说,这批要拍卖的宝石和历史佛陀的遗骨一起埋在舍利塔里,1898年在印度北部被找到。人们认为这些珠宝可能来自公元前240年到公元前200年左右。

然而,印度文化部周二在脸书上发文表示,已向香港苏富比发出法律通知,要求立即停止拍卖,并指控此次拍卖违反了“印度法律、国际准则和联合国公约”。

印度文化部在周一发给苏富比香港的一封信中说,这次要拍卖的佛教物品非常重要,它们是印度和全世界佛教徒的宗教和文化遗产,不能分开。这封信已经在Facebook上公开了。信中要求把这些物品还给印度政府,并要求拍卖行和Chris Peppé公开道歉。

值得一提的是,Chris Peppé是英国人William Peppé的曾孙,后者曾参与挖掘这些遗物。

信中警告说,如果他们不遵守,就会面临法律问题和公开的宣传活动,目的是揭露拍卖行在“继续殖民时期不公平现象和参与不道德的宗教物品买卖”中的作用。

苏富比周三发布声明,宣布推迟拍卖,并解释此决定是与委托人商议后,为回应印度政府的关切而做出的。声明指出:“此举旨在促进双方对话,我们将适时公布最新进展。”

苏富比拍卖行关于此次拍卖的部分网页,周三已无法打开。

印度文化部周三在Facebook上宣布,经其协调,此次拍卖已延期,对此表示欣慰。
