Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Cream background, one raised hand, and a red sea of flags below.

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. Against a cream-colored upper field, a figure in a buttoned coat raises one hand. The lower field is red with fine wavy lines suggesting a crowd of flags. The coat is golden with rainbow flecks. It is 2 inches in diameter.

Cream and red make a very clean flag.
