You should put a plaque on that display Kroenen that reads “Fertility Idol: Aquired in Mirikesh 1936”
Great idea.An old looking museumsticker or something from 1936 on the glassdome would also be nice.With handwritten letters what it is.

Given how much sand Indy thought to use, was it supposed to be solid gold in the film?
Not thinking that now.
Most likely stone covered in hammered and smoothed gold.
Yeah I'm thinking to not put all leadshot in it now, Mix it up with something lighter. So It has heft but
not OH crap this is heavy.
"is it heavy?... then it's expensive.". That kind of thing.
And stop up the hole with some wood or something "native" looking.

You can the "ding" on the cheek, the arm doesn't show up quite as well though. And the ear and the edges of the mouth appear kind of silvery to me like the gold plating didn't get to those parts.
It’s interesting to see people trying to dump their Sideshow idols on eBay now. The Sideshow idol was a completely new sculpt and had no lineage at all. I had one and it was ok but not accurate at all.
I think yours looks great.
