Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Head, tall pine, and a little standing figure on a rocky shore.

This Mao Zedong circular lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is metal. During the Cultural Revolution, the article says, Mao's portrait or statue stood in virtually every home, and people bowed before it and recited quotations from the small Little Red Book. With a silver left-facing head in the upper field, a slim pine tree rises at the right. Below, a small standing figure and wavy lines of rock and water sit in pale silver relief. The red surface is glossy with faint swirl marks. It is 1.5 inches in diameter.

A whole landscape, fitting neatly under the chin.
