| 摘要 | On May 7, 2025, Sotheby’s Hong Kong will offer for sale “gem relics” of the Buddha that were dug up by British colonial landowner W. C. Peppé out of the Piprahwa stūpa in Uttar Pradesh, India, in 1898. In Buddhist contexts, they are considered śarīra—corporeal remains imbued with the living presence of the Buddha. Centering Buddhist ontologies of relics evidenced in epigraphic and ritual traces, this article calls attention to the ethical implications of placing such sacred remains on the art market. It situates the continued division of “gems” from “bones and ash” in colonial processes of extraction, classification, and revaluation through archaeological and museographic practice. |
