Trying to find out the country and or style of this Wooden Carved oriental blanket chest?

I am the heir to an oriental style large heavy wood carved chest. The inside is cedar and has one long box like shelf that sits in the inside top. I’m not even sure what type of wood this is. I would love to find out the era and or maker of this chest. I did notice what was possibly some oriental markings on the bottom of the chest, but they were too faded for me to make out at all. Any help would be most appreciated. Any ANTIQUE DEALERS OUT THERE??????

The boats, serpent-like design, pagoda, figures, perspective etc. are all indicative of China (Canton) design but the foreground dwellings suggest Thailand or that locale. With this type of piece being heavily reproduced for many years it is difficult to assess without actually physically looking. The markings on the base are supremely important. See if you can match up in similarity the style of character, it should be easy to determine if the characters are chinese or Thai or somewhere else and if you can, then you have its origin. Usually, if original, the preferred wood to make these chests was mahogany .
