Maurice Delannoy La Force Art Deco silvered metal medal on bakelite

And here's the other Delannoy plaque to go with the one on the site. This silvered metal medal is by Maurice Delannoy and depicts a man in profile holding the muzzle of a horse. The medal is signed M Delannoy. The medal is fastened to a rectangular red/brown coloured bakelite plaque that has the words "La Force" embossed below the medal and the words "Edite par La Gerbe d'Or Paris". The bakelite plaque has a triangular metal hook on the rear to enable it to be hung on the wall.
I think that this plaque was promotion material for La Gerbe d'Or which was a jewellery shop in Paris.
