Italian term or phrase: concezione unitaria
There are a few things I'm struggling to express here:

Il donario di Geneleos rappresenta un caposaldo per la conoscenza della scultura samia di età arcaica: evidente il gusto per la concezione unitaria della statua, retta dalla linea di contorno, con un accentuato gioco ornamentale sia nelle vesti a fitte pieghe, sia nei capelli resi con perle sfaccettate.

Thanks for any help.

monolithic quality


Explanation:
Monolithic concept or conception could work too and might be closer to the Italian but don't sound quite as natural to me.
