The Oprah Sarcophagus

Posted by Bossip Staff

Oprah Statue

Artists and their portrayals of celebrities are quite interesting. This golden Egyptian-like coffin of Oprah was made by Daniel Edwards and is called the “The Oprah Sarcophagus”.

At least this one looks better than that erect Diddy painting. SMH.

  7. Hmmmmm, I don’t quite know what to make of that, if it’s complimentary or defaming. I gotta think on this one. I need to find out his true intent.

  8. THE DEVIL HIMSELF

    I want to see them try to stuff that big bitch in that! hahaha it’s made for her too! but they need to update it. They should put cow spots on it that bitch is never gonna fit in that coffin,

  9. SIX Shooter (GET MONEY)

  16. Just Sit And Be Pretty

    WTH?!? I’m speechless…

  17. ImKeepingItReal4DaHooks

    Wow! I like art and this piece speaks to me. I’m not sure if O will be flattered though.

  18. We Gotta Do Betta

    what in the gold hell is that!!!

  19. Darth Paul

    I like it! Also, let’s retire the SMH. It’s long overdue and tired.

  20. Mo'Ree

    I think it’s beautiful…doesn’t look exactly like her but i like the strong features….i would be flattered…


  21. It does not look like her.

  22. Mo'Ree

    oh and i don’t think the breast, waist or hips are meant to match hers…early African art often over exaggerated the hips and breast (both signs of fertility)…so maybe that is the point…

  23. I'm'a drop a dime on that n*gga right there

    body is oprah .. face is skrate up SERENA or tashana by my projects

  24. constance

    I wonder what O would say. I Love O by the way.

  25. da darkness

    Fuc outta here she’s never been pregnant, ma hips ain’t like dat. you need to hold seeds inside to get that bantu shape. thus the designer needs more back ground thought before he does any work

  26. da darkness

    @bossip y that sleepy picture of o

  27. I'm'a drop a dime on that n*gga right there

    @da darkness dummy … ahh dude, she HAS been pregnant – she was like 14/16 – some incest shyt ..

  28. da darkness

    @ he know who, dat shit don’t count you smut, u are a fool. crawl in a pine box and let the ants eat you for saying something so disrespectable to a GIANT.

  29. GYRL

    @ DA DARKNESS…

    WHY DOESNT IT COUNT???

  30. Crap Talker

    da hail?


  31. do they really see oprah as a fat ass peice of gold? all that weight she lost an to think she has to gain it back before she die so she can fit in that bitch.

  32. Nita

    it’s very womanly and feminine. I love it. the goddess aspect may be offensive, but it speaks to some primal universals regarding woman.

    it’s dope.

  33. PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    disrespectful. they got her lookin like a swollen mammy or some big tittied, big ass’d african tribal looking woman

  34. PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    @ keith

    do they really see oprah as a fat ass peice of gold?

    *****************************

    LMAO .. basically

  35. da darkness

    dats bronze not gold. she bit off of king tuts coffin. thus gold is at $920 an oz. this artist ain’t ready to handle that kind of a price tag

  36. Darkesthourglass

    Oprah had a baby at about 14 but it wasn’t incest. It was from being a rebellious teen. Her boobs are kind of big but not that BIG. Her weight fluctuates so often it’s hard to tell what her body really looks like. The face looks nothing like Oprah.

  37. ESL

    This is too much.

  38. :)

    I love Oprah.. She is beautiful inside and out

  39. memchee

    omg..some things just ain’t worth having to see.


  40. That’s the most untastefulest shit I’ve ever seen !!

    I’d be insulted if they made me look like a damm BUDDAH……..some things are better left unsaid.

  41. keltharocka

    Thoes aren’t boobs, its here arms folded across her chest, you can see the boob part underneath……at least i hope that is how it is supposed to be.


  42. Keltharocka,

    Those aren’t arms, they’re definitely boobs.

    Edwards’ statues are always a riff on some other pieces of classical artwork. He never talks about them, but they’re definitely there. In this case the statue is one called the “Willendorf Goddess”, which was a female figure sculpted about 24,000 years ago, with no arms, huge breasts, fat belly and thighs…

    The “Barbaro” statue he’s doing is also fun, though I don’t yet recognize the horse as being a reference to something else specific– I haven’t had time to get a good look at it.

  43. Encyclopedia Brown

    those are the biggest tits i’ve ever seen in my entire life

    …on a sarcophagus
