Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Bridge arch and a small pagoda sit below a face in a flat cap.

This Mao Zedong circular lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is metal. Cultural Revolution memorabilia, whether porcelain figures, buttons or posters, is described as reflecting pivotal moments in modern Chinese history and the lives swept up in that period, beyond the figure it portrays. Fine rays fan behind a face in a flat cap with a buttoned collar in a red disc. Below, a golden arched bridge spans the base, with a small pagoda at the right. It is 3 inches in diameter.

Bridges and pagodas, and a cap that stays level.
