Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Draped red flag, golden profile, and a handful of tiny rooftops.

This Mao Zedong circular lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is metal. Cultural Revolution memorabilia, whether porcelain figures, buttons or posters, is described as reflecting pivotal moments in modern Chinese history and the lives swept up in that period, beyond the figure it portrays. Curling behind the left-facing silver head, a large red banner spills over the upper right edge of the red disc. A beaded gold arc runs below it, and a small gate building stands at the base. It is 2 inches in diameter.

Everything wrapped, folded, and very much in place.
