Indiana Jones And The Raiders Of The Lost Ark, Golden Fertility Idol

replica movie prop

This prop replica is from Indiana Jones, Raiders of the Lost Ark.. This Idol replica is professionally plated and has realistic eyes.

the original idea for the scenes with the idol was to have its eyes following Indiana Jones as he moved around the room. As such, one of the props built featured mechanical moving eyes. Evidence of this can still be seen in the archival footage on the film's DVD. Ultimately, the idea was abandoned though one shot remains in the final film -- the one where Indy is pouring sand out of the bag
