Put it in a museum in India.

Yes, it might piss some off, but this idea of keeping the status quo (keeping it with the British) because it is complicated is ridiculous.

If it needs to be given away, maybe to a museum belonging to the United Nations? I'm not sure if there are truly extraterritorial museums, though.

A UN museum of escrow might be neat. Here’s all the awesome stuff people are too pigheaded to come to an agreement on, complete with explanations of why.

No, the United Nations does not own museums.

Also, I don't think the Taliban government has been recognized in the UN yet, which makes stuff murkier soverignity wise.
