50kg solid gold statue of Kate Moss has been unveiled at a contemporary sculpture exhibition at London's British Musuem.
The statue, titled "Siren" and valued at $3.36 million, is thought to be the largest gold statue to be made since ancient Egyptian times, the Associated Press reported.
Marc Quinn's work, described as an "Aphrodite of our times" is part of the Statuephilia exhibition.
