sculptured
Shaped by chisel
Sculptured describes something shaped or carved as if by a sculptor's hand.
A sculptured face has sharply defined features; sculptured abs are well-developed and visually striking.
The word suggests deliberate artistic shaping, whether literal or figurative: the sculptured cliffs along the coast, her sculptured cheekbones.
Often interchangeable with sculpted, though sculptured can sound slightly more formal or literary.
