"We never stop praising the thoughts of our Chairman Mao" (museum title), Xinjiang poster
A framed colour portrait of Mao hangs on the wall above a crowded carpet scene: a white-bearded man plays a long-necked lute while children, young women and a girl in a red neckerchief clap and sing along, in regional dress, with fruit and a jug set out before them. The portrait is the focal point and the whole household joins in, so the celebration is shown flowing from the leader's image (transfer, bandwagon).

Text on the object
[illegible]
Museum catalogue title (not read from the object): "We never stop praising the thoughts of our Chairmain [sic] Mao."
The printed caption line below the picture is illegible in this photograph (small red characters with glare), so no Chinese text is transcribed; the translation field repeats the museum's recorded English title only.
