Cameos featuring detailed profiles of Black men and women in precious metals and jewels were popular in many European countries. The ones above date circa 1600-1800. Some art historians relate the style above to depictions of the goddess Diana, others relate them to the association of Blackness and wealth that came though trade in the Middle ages and Renaissance.

You can read more about cameos like these in Black Africans in Renaissance Europe By K. J. P. Lowe, p. 204-206, and Early Modern Visual Culture: Representation, Race, and Empire in Renaissance England By Peter Erickson & Clark Hulse, p. 193-198.

Arnold,

At a young age, it was all about Arnold's room to me. The aesthetic, the technology, I remember thinking this was some futuristic cartoon all due to this guys room...

Getting older and watching the series again, the room is still a masterpiece and a dream, but Arnold's stoicism, mannerisms, the way he carried himself, he was just the coolest being (fictional/or not) ever to me and one of my all-time favorite fictional characters.
