Context examples
The Griffon is a sturdy toy dog of square proportions with a domed head, undershot jaw, and a very short nose.
(Brussels Griffon, NCI Thesaurus)
His face was a strong—a very strong—aquiline, with high bridge of the thin nose and peculiarly arched nostrils; with lofty domed forehead, and hair growing scantily round the temples but profusely elsewhere.
(Dracula, by Bram Stoker)
Above a square-domed forehead he saw a mop of brown hair, nut-brown, with a wave to it and hints of curls that were a delight to any woman, making hands tingle to stroke it and fingers tingle to pass caresses through it.
(Martin Eden, by Jack London)
