Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Two small figures and a rocky ridge occupy the foot of the red disc.

This Mao Zedong circular lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is metal. Badges and lapel pins bearing Mao's face were produced by the billions, and Mao himself called a halt to production in 1969 because the metal used was seen as wasteful. On a plain red disc rests a silvery profile with brushed hair. Under the shoulder, a low ridge of silvery hills and trees runs across, with two small figures leaning into a forward motion. It is 2 inches wide and 2.25 high.

They look like they are late for something important.
