ALthough the movie idol is based on an Aztec piece, the film scene is set in South America.
Perhaps it was Spielberg et al.'s way of suggesting precolumbian Mexican-Peruvian interactions, hee hee...

: It's in DC at Dumbarton Oaks. Check out the D.O. website; look in the Precolumbian , then Aztec section for the piece.
