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

holistic conception
in other words, it was conceived in it's total completeness rather than a combination of individual parts.
