stony-faced
Showing no feeling
Stony-faced describes an expression showing no emotion—blank, rigid, unreadable: The judge remained stony-faced throughout the testimony.
The image is of a face as impassive as stone.
Someone stony-faced may be suppressing feeling, maintaining composure, or simply refusing to react.
