Chairman Mao Enamel Portrait

This is a stunning piece of propaganda from the Cultural Revolution that would have been hung in a public place to remind the population of Chairman Mao's presence. The vibrant red stands out and the image of Chairman is one of his most famous poses. Simply a fantastic piece of history.

The enamel sign measures 34 cm (13.5 inches) in diameter. The back indicates it was produced for October 1, 1968, the anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
