Tumbling Clown

[beesbhive]

I have a tumbling clown, it seems to be one solid piece, it is heavy for it's size not sure if it is wood or ceramic.  He measures about 13" from tip of his hat to the bottom of his one foot.   It is on a metal parallel bar, he tumbles down the bar and rocks back and forth for quite awhile. Any idea of age, who made or value?  Thank You!
