演员Zendaya在参加《奥德赛》电影宣传活动时佩戴的耳环引发广泛争议[1]。这对耳环由Barron London画廊提供，由约公元前700年的古伊朗文物制成[1]，来自2025年从Glenn Spiro珠宝商购买的Ziwiye宝藏[1]。
Ziwiye宝藏发现于1940年代晚期的伊朗西北部[1]，1947年被牧羊人掠夺，其余物品在1960年代被售出伊朗市场[1]。考古学家和文化遗产保护人士对此提出强烈反对，指责这些文物不应被用作商业电影宣传的配饰。
哥伦比亚大学教授Sussan Babaie表示："那些为名人搭配服装的人文化知识和文化敏感度不足"[1]。她进一步批评这一做法为"对古伊朗文化对人类的贡献的挪用、贬低和改造"[1]。古物鉴定专家Dr Annelise Baer指出，核心伦理问题在于"耳环本身是由掠夺的古物制成的"[1]。
Barron画廊回应称，上述文物"按照其记录的出处和所有适用的法律要求得到负责任地保管"[1]。
Actor Zendaya drew criticism from archaeologists and cultural heritage advocates after wearing earrings made from ancient Iranian artifacts at a promotional event for the film Odyssey [1]. The earrings, sourced from the Barron London gallery in 2025 and purchased from jeweler Glenn Spiro, are fashioned from objects belonging to the Ziwiye treasure, a collection discovered in northwestern Iran in the late 1940s [1].
The Ziwiye treasure was looted by shepherds in 1947, with remaining items subsequently sold into the Iranian market during the 1960s [1]. Critics argue that using looted antiquities as accessories for commercial film promotion raises serious ethical concerns. Dr. Annelise Baer highlighted that "the earrings themselves are made out of looted antiquities," identifying this as the central ethical issue [1].
Professor Sussan Babaie expressed concern about broader practices in celebrity styling, stating: "There is not enough cultural knowledge and cultural sensibility among those who dress [celebrities]" [1]. Babaie further criticized the use as "hijacking, flattening and transforming [ancient Iran's] cultural contributions to humanity" [1].
In response, Barron London maintained that the artifacts "are responsibly stewarded in accordance with their documented provenance and all applicable legal requirements" [1].
