This Mao Zedong lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. 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. Very small rectangle in two parts. The left is red and black with a half sun and rays above three short characters, and the right is a cream-gold panel with a head in profile facing left. It is 1 inches wide and 0.5 high.
