I picked this at an estate clean out in Kittery, Maine today. Does anyone have any idea about age, origin, and value? Thanks in advance.

We recently found another one of these rocking toys very similar to yours. Ours is colorfully painted. We also found one carved into the shape of an elephant and the 3rd is slightly larger and in the shape of a horse. All painted and each appearing to be hand-carved from a solid piece of wood. We're actually looking for answers to the same questions as Bill.
The mystery remains unsolved. We too, found one in great condition at an estate sale, but with removable ears as well as colourfully painted. It appears to have the same carved details as above. Ours is missing the handles at the sides though. A very beautiful piece to say the least!
I think that they are Indonesian. Very beautiful!
I have the same rabbit has ears and is painted red and green it was given to me I live in Texas and was wondering if anyone has found out information
