Kate Moss Joins Gild: Mega-Statue Museum-Bound (E! Online)

Watch full size video:

British sculptor Marc Quinn is ready to unveil his latest creation to the world, a nearly $2.8 million, 110-pound solid gold image of the supermodel, hyped as the largest such creation built since ancient Egypt.

Quinn, the artist behind 2006's Sphinx, a painted render insensible image of Moss in a more or less provocative yoga pose, has dubbed his new golden girl Siren.

And the British Museum has already heeded its short visit.

While the venerable London museum has so remoter only released a close-up photo of the statue's face, the work purportedly shows Moss, formerly again, in the similar contorted yoga pose as before.

"I thought the next deed to do would be to do a sculpture of the person who's the illusory beauty of the moment," Quinn said of his fabulously excessive creation. "But even Kate Moss doesn't live up to the image."

The British public will be able to influence beneficial to itself whether the statue succeeds at what place Moss apparently failed, with the objet d'aptness going on display in the the same British Museum corridor that houses the institution's ancient Greek sculpture collection.

The statue will be on pageant from Oct. 4 through Jan. 25.
