Chinese Mao Zedong Circular Lapel Pin

Red curtain backdrop, a podium, and a pale blue strip with tiny dates.

This Mao Zedong circular lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. Cultural Revolution memorabilia, whether porcelain figures, buttons or posters, is described as reflecting pivotal moments in modern Chinese history and the lives swept up in that period, beyond the figure it portrays. Draped red bands rise behind a buttoned tunic and clasped hands at a podium. Curved golden stripes run along the lower left. A narrow pale blue strip at the base carries tiny numerals. It is 2 inches in diameter.

Plenty of drapery, and a podium to match.
