Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Wide-brimmed hat, a stadium-like backdrop, and a red 5 7 on gold.

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. Building outlines at either side flank a broad-hatted figure in open collar, set in a red upper field. The lower band is golden grain with a red 5 7 and a silvery rim. It is 2.25 inches in diameter.

The numerals are bold, and the hat is bolder.
