Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Gate building with red dots and a column stands under the profile.

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. Swept hair and a plain red disc frame the silvery profile. Beneath it, a multi-roofed gate building in silvery relief spans the base, with a row of red dots along its wall and a tall column at the right. It is 2 inches in diameter.

Architecture on a pin, with admirable roof detail.
