Chinese Mao Zedong Lapel Pin

Waving from a grandstand dressed in red streamers, a gold figure holds the stage.

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. Cream-and-gold rectangular badge. A raised gold figure holds an arm outstretched at the right, with red and green streamers, a small text banner at the top and a row of red flags below. It is 1.5 inches wide and 0.75 high.

All the ceremony of a parade in a postage stamp.
