QUEEN ROSALIE was the wife of Rwandan king Kinyarwanda Mutara III. After her husband died in mysterious circumstances in 1959, the Rwandan monarchy lasted only two more years, under the leadership of king Kigeli Ndahindurwa. The queen continued to live in Butare along with her mother where she was later murdered during the Rwandan genocide. Queen ROSALIE was a living symbol for the Tutsis, and her murder shocked many. It effectively signalled the beginning of the mass killing in the Butare area which saw some of the worst atrocities committed during the fight.
QUEEN ROSALIE pendant light is created as a symbol in remembrance of an African queen.
