marble statue
Carved stone likeness
A marble statue is a sculpture carved from marble, the smooth white stone prized since antiquity for its luminous quality and workability.
The term evokes classical Greek and Roman figures—gods, athletes, emperors—and Renaissance masterpieces like Michelangelo's David.
Figuratively, someone standing like a marble statue is motionless, pale, or coldly beautiful.
