unsculptured
Lacking carved form
Unsculptured means not shaped or carved, remaining in a natural or unworked state.
The word describes surfaces, materials, or forms that haven't been deliberately fashioned: unsculptured rock, an unsculptured block of marble.
Figuratively, it can suggest something unrefined or undeveloped: His unsculptured prose lacked elegance.
