Chinese Mao Zedong Lapel Pin

Hiding in a white frame with a stamped gold edge, a red flag naps.

This Mao Zedong lapel pin is from China, and dates to the 20th century. It is metal. 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. Wide cream rectangle with scalloped gold edging. A deep red flag with a small gold head is draped diagonally across it, with extra white and red folds trailing to the left. It is 0.75 inches wide and 0.5 high.

A modest flag in a rather grand frame.
