A company stopped selling old jewels because India said no.

Old stones were found with old things from a Buddha in India in 1898.

India's government told Sotheby's Hong Kong to stop selling the statue. They said the sale was against India's rules and international rules.

The letter said the Buddhist things are important for India. They asked Sotheby's to send the things back to India and say sorry.

Peppé is the great-grandson of William Peppé. William was British. He found the relics.

The Indian government said they must obey the law. If not, there will be problems.

Sotheby's said it will hold the sale later. It talked to the Indian government and the people who owned the things. They all agreed.

We can talk together, and we will tell you news when we have it.

Some pages on the Sotheby's website about the sale were not there on Wednesday.

India's culture government said on Facebook it stopped the sale after it helped.
