marble statues
Carved rock effigies
Marble statues are sculptures carved from marble, the medium of classical Western art from ancient Greece through the Renaissance.
The phrase evokes idealized human forms—smooth, white, and timeless: The museum's collection of marble statues includes several Roman copies of Greek originals.
Figuratively, someone standing still or showing no emotion might be compared to a marble statue.
