Chinese Mao Zedong Lapel Pin

Flag leans on a gold book, as if posing for a photograph.

This Mao Zedong 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. Shaped like a billowing red flag. A gold head in profile sits at the upper left, and a gold book with a red star lies in front of the flag, placed at a slight slant. It is 1 inches wide and 0.75 high.

Flag and book, perfectly composed and not budging an inch.
