This is the frontispiece to Report and Conclusion on the Second All China Congress of Soviets by the Central Steering Committee and People's Committee of the Chinese Soviet Republic (中華蘇維埃共和國中央執行委員會與人民委員會對第二次全國蘇維埃代表大會的報告和結論), written by Mao Zedong, and published in Moscow in 1934.

I obtained this tin plaque from Lhasa in March 1985. It was one of half a dozen such plaques that had been cemented to the wall of the Ramoche Temple ར་མོ་ཆེ་དགོན་པ་ for many years, and now lay unwanted after having recently been removed. This plaque is unusual in showing Chairman Mao with an undefaced Lin Biao. The main Tibetan inscription reads: "Long Live, Long Live, Long Live the Great Leader Chairman Mao !" [伟大的领袖毛主席万岁！万岁！万万岁！]. The second two lines of Tibetan read: "The Great Leader Chairman Mao and his closest comrade at arms Comrade Lin Biao at the 1st Plenary Session of the 9th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China" (held in April 1969).

The plaque is somewhat battered and bent, and due to its size has had to be scanned in two sections, which do not line up exactly. Also, due to the limitations of my scanner, the rusty gold border that edges the plaque has been omitted from the scanned image.
Plastic plaques like this one were to be found in every sitting room in China during the Cultural Revolution.
10.8 × 11.9 cm.
Billions of Mao badges were produced during the early period of the Cultural Revolution, from 1966 to 1971. See the Wikipedia article on Chairman Mao badges for more information.
