Buddhist relics include the funeral ashes of the historic Buddha, placed in a number of stupas or burial mounds.
In medieval times Christian relics were fiercely fought for, and there were a vast number of fakes.

Parallel nonreligious examples of the phenomenon include the display of the preserved body of Lenin in Moscow, Russia.
