Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Disc

Big silvery profile and a spray of faint script across the red below.

This Mao Zedong circular disc is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is metal. Propaganda posters of the era generally pictured a utopian society, with smiling farmers, brave soldiers and happy people gathered around Mao, who was cast as a benevolent father and wise teacher. Large silvery profile with swept hair and a high collar takes up a large part of a glossy red disc. Faint lines of script and thin banner shapes stream across the lower left in low relief. It is 4 inches in diameter.

Large head, light handwriting, and plenty of gloss.
