An official menu from a Chinese state banquet bearing Chairman Mao Zedong's signature has reportedly been sold for $275,000 at auction.
The menu was signed in fountain pen by six influential Chinese statesmen, including Mao and Premier Zhou Enlai. The banquet featured foods from both nations and included delicacies such as "Consommé of Swallow Nest and White Agaric," "Shark’s Fin in Brown Sauce," and "Roast Peking Duck."
"To hold a menu signed by Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai is to hold a piece of the past – a piece that tells a story of diplomatic engagement, cultural exchange, and the forging of friendships that have endured through the decades," Bobby Livingston, executive vice president at RR Auction, said in a statement.
