Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Figure in a long gown stands above green hills and a turquoise bend of river.

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. Small standing figure in a long gown, in golden relief, stands on a red field above a landscape. Green hills and a winding turquoise stream run across the middle, and a textured gold slope fills the base. It is 2.5 inches in diameter.

A view worth the walk up.
