The Oprah Sarcophagus
Posted by Bossip Staff
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.

First?
2nd!
Wha???
Wha???
Oprah’s boobs ain’t that big are they?
No, and her waist certainly ain’t that tiny, lol.
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.
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,
I dont know what to say about this, so I’ll just SMDH!
uhhh…. next!!!
interesting…..will she actually use it?
Speechless. . . .
Who in the hell decide to inflate Oprahs ego by giving her a waistline??
i don’t know what to say. i don’t think i like it though
OK? I GUESS WHEN YOU GOT MONEY YOU GET GOLD COFFINS KINDA SPOOKY IS OPRAH GONNA DIE SOON

“GRIND OR DIE”
WTH?!? I’m speechless…
Wow! I like art and this piece speaks to me. I’m not sure if O will be flattered though.
what in the gold hell is that!!!
I like it! Also, let’s retire the SMH. It’s long overdue and tired.
I think it’s beautiful…doesn’t look exactly like her but i like the strong features….i would be flattered…
It does not look like her.
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…
body is oprah .. face is skrate up SERENA or tashana by my projects
I wonder what O would say. I Love O by the way.
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
@bossip y that sleepy picture of o
@da darkness dummy … ahh dude, she HAS been pregnant - she was like 14/16 - some incest shyt ..
@ 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.
@ DA DARKNESS…
WHY DOESNT IT COUNT???
da hail?
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.
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.
disrespectful. they got her lookin like a swollen mammy or some big tittied, big ass’d african tribal looking woman
@ keith
do they really see oprah as a fat ass peice of gold?
*****************************
LMAO .. basically
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
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.
This is too much.
I love Oprah.. She is beautiful inside and out
omg..some things just ain’t worth having to see.
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.
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.
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.
those are the biggest tits i’ve ever seen in my entire life
…on a sarcophagus
Well take me to the foot of the stairs! I just don’t what to make of it all. Please . . . just give me a moment. . . .
