Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Gold-brim hat, a patch of sky and a red flag above a wavy gold field.

This Mao Zedong circular lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is metal. During the Cultural Revolution, the article says, Mao's portrait or statue stood in virtually every home, and people bowed before it and recited quotations from the small Little Red Book. Open collar and gold-brimmed hat define the bust before a red flag and a patch of pale blue sky. A band of wavy golden grain scallops across the base. The skin tone is a deep brown. It is 2.25 inches in diameter.

A hat that has clearly seen a field or two.
