Where did the carving on the trunk come from?
The carving is definitely asian. The person I bought it from said it came from China, although again since this was a craigslist deal, that may or may not be true. It is not particularly heavy, so I do not think mahogany. The inside of the trunk is lined with some sort of lighter unfinished wood, and looks fairly clean and new.

What kind of wood is a cherry carving made of?
It does not appear to be cherry as cherry is too soft to endure intricate carving and last a long time. If the object is way heavier than it would appear then most likely it is mahagony. Take note of how the sides and bottom are joined together.
