Carved Relief of Rwanda in the memorial to victims of genocide in Rwanda

This gift is made of libuyu wood. It showcases two tall libuyu wood figures--a male holding a sorghum stalk aloft in right hand and a female holding a basket. They stand upon the wooden base whose sides are carved with many human faces and weapons in the memorial to the genocide victims of Rwanda. It was given to President Clinton and the First Lady Hillary Clinton from Pasteur Bizimungu, President of the Republic of Rwanda, and Serafina Bizimungu, First Lady of Rwanda in Rwanda on March 25th, 1998.
