Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Figure in a long dark coat, one hand on the hip, against a red sky.

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. At the right of a red disc stands a figure in a long, double-breasted coat with one hand at the hip. The coat reads nearly black with bluish sheen. Faint cloud streaks cross the red. It is 2.25 inches in diameter.

Relaxed posture, dark coat, and no hurry at all.
