torsoes
Chests and abdomens
Torsoes is the plural of torso—the trunk of the human body, excluding head and limbs.
The form *torsi* also exists but sounds pedantic; torsoes is standard: The sculptor specialized in headless torsoes.
By extension, any incomplete or fragmentary statue may be called a torso.
