About this piece
No rim at all, just a big head and a tiny kneeling figure below.
This Mao Zedong circular lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is metal. Propaganda posters of the era generally pictured a utopian society, with smiling farmers, brave soldiers and happy people gathered around Mao, who was cast as a benevolent father and wise teacher. Large profile head leans out from a deep red disc with no raised border. At the foot, a small kneeling figure sits on a scalloped bank of cloud shapes. The silvery relief shows a few iridescent patches. It is 1.5 inches in diameter.
Big head, little figure, and no apology for the scale.
