Lovely Old Carved Toy Sword animal on wheels I really don't know anything

I really don't know anything about this antique doll

and is pretty smart looking in red and blue I think

Light rusting but looks and works great

but I think this particular piece quite transcends the context of its making

I purchased this directly from a seller in Russia when it was still winter

Quite a lovely object I think, all carved from one piece of wood, and beautiful wood at that. 18 1 4" long x 2 1 8" across at handle, 3 8" thick. One small chip on
