Chinese Mao Zedong Lapel Pin

Terracotta skin tones and a dark jacket, with red characters curved like a smile below.

This Mao Zedong lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is porcelain. Badges and lapel pins bearing Mao's face were produced by the billions, and Mao himself called a halt to production in 1969 because the metal used was seen as wasteful. Bright, deeply domed white disc. The figure stares straight ahead with a reddish-orange face, a green-black high-collared jacket, and a row of small red characters arcing along the lower edge. It is 1.75 inches in diameter.

Direct gaze, tidy lettering, no wasted space.
