Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Teal sky, an outstretched arm, and green below a crumpled red flag.

This Mao Zedong circular 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. Reaching one arm far across a teal ground, a figure wears a cap with a red collar tab. A crumpled red flag fills the lower field, with a patch of green at the bottom edge. It is 2.5 inches in diameter.

Arm out, sky wide, flag rumpled.
