History I bought it 15 years ago i planned to take it apart, take the carving and frame each one and sell them but couldn't destroy it when I looked at each carving. it looks like there is a story when the carvings are viewed together

Chests like this have been made all over Southeast Asia for the tourist/export market since the turn of the 19th century. A lot of them brought back by troops stationed in Japan or Korea after World War Two and through the Vietnam War years. We'd retail a comparable for about $300.00.
