Chinese Mao Zedong Lapel Pin

Red rays, a gold head, and a row of pillars along the base.

This Mao Zedong 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. Stepped, upright badge with cut corners and a red field. A gold head in profile sits above a band of low buildings and tall poles, with a small gold plaque of characters along the bottom. It is 0.6 inches wide and 0.9 high.

Rays all the way down, and not a flat spot anywhere.
