An authentic piece of history, this porcelain depiction of a relaxed Mao Ze Dong is one of many that were mass-produced during China's Cultural Revolution. During this period of time in China, propaganda art was one of the most important ways of spreading communist party ideology. Cast in the time-honored medium of white porcelain, the figure challenges tradition with its radical subject and embodies the quintessential changes undergone in Chinese culture during the mid-20th century.
