These are a little blurry. The cabinet is gorgeous and what I found fascinating is that the central two women are Roman but then you've got a Niobe and an Egyptian on the ends. The scene in the middle is multi-racial as well. Probably more to do with a Victorian interest in exoticness and curiousities than an attempt at integration.
