Chinese Mao Zedong Lapel Pin

Unfurling within a white postage-stamp border, a small red flag.

This Mao Zedong lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. 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. A rectangle with scalloped, stamp-like gold edging and a white border sits around the badge. Inside, a billowing red flag carries a small gold roundel with a head in profile in its center. It is 0.75 inches wide and 0.5 high.

Postage paid in full, flag flying, no returns accepted.
