Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Full-length figure in a long robe strides over rocky ground and pines.

This Mao Zedong circular lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. 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. Full figure in a long, flowing robe strides forward on an uneven base of rocks and small trees. Faint mountain contours run across the red field behind. The pin has a slight rim wave at the left. It is 2.5 inches in diameter.

Forward is the direction, apparently, and the plan.
