Chinese Mao Zedong Lapel Pin
About this piece
Just the head and collar, cut out and left to make its own point.
This Mao Zedong lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is metal. After Mao's death in 1976, the Communist Party began a process of de-Mao-ization, and much memorabilia was destroyed, statues were taken down, and many badges were collected and melted into functional objects. Cut out in solid profile, the head and neck face left, with a stiff upright collar and neatly modeled hair. The surface is a bright, polished yellow-gold, smooth and mirror-like with a few soft scuffs along the neck. It is 1 inches wide and 1 high.
No background needed when the silhouette does the talking.
