演员泽达亚在伦敦电影宣传活动中佩戴的一对耳环引发了关于古代文物合法性和所有权的广泛争议[1]。这对耳环据称由伊朗Ziwiye古董组成，距今约3000年，于1940年代末在伊朗西北部发现，现由伦敦画廊Barron London所有[1]。耳环由伦敦珠宝商Glenn Spiro用黄金和钻石安装[1]。
学术界和文物专家对这批文物的来源和合法性提出了质疑[1]。文物专家Dr Christos Tsirogiannis表示："大约90%的市场古董迟早被证明是非法的或缺乏来源证明"[1]。伊朗法证档案馆创办人罗米娜·弗罗哈尔启动的请愿活动要求公开这些文物的完整来源信息[1]。
2018年，纽约大都会博物馆以400万美元获得的一件2100年前埃及祭司棺木Nedjemankh，后被证实为2011年盗掘并走私的文物，这一事件反映出古董市场中日益受关注的伦理问题[1]。同年，一件3000年前的新亚述浮雕在Christie's拍卖行以近3100万美元的价格成交，进一步凸显了高价值古董交易中存在的风险[1]。
Actor Zendaya's choice of jewelry at a London film promotion event has reignited scrutiny over the legitimacy and ethical sourcing of ancient artifacts in the luxury market. [1] The earrings in question are reportedly composed of components from the Ziwiye hoard, an Iranian collection of antiquities discovered in northwestern Iran in the late 1940s and estimated to be approximately 3,000 years old. [1] The pieces were mounted in gold and diamonds by London jeweler Glenn Spiro and are currently owned by the London gallery Barron London. [1]
The display has prompted significant concern among academics and heritage experts regarding the artifacts' provenance and legal status. [1] Dr. Christos Tsirogiannis has noted that "approximately 90 percent of market antiquities are eventually proven to be either illegal or lack proper provenance documentation." [1] In response, the Iranian Forensic Archive, established by Romina Frohar, has launched a petition demanding full disclosure of the artifacts' complete provenance information. [1] The controversy underscores a broader pattern in the antiquities trade: in 2018, the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired an Egyptian priest's coffin, Nedjemankh, dating back 2,100 years for $4 million, only to later confirm it had been looted in 2011 and trafficked illegally.
