I believe you've got a Chinese alter cabinet. The little "canopy" area is a shrine where a statue would go. Google altar cabinet to see similar examples. The wood looks like elm wood, which is a very sturdy but light weight hard wood. Very cool the way it is asymmetrical.

I think you are right Tales,, I haven`t found anything else that could have been used for !!  Was waiting to see what Frogpatch had to say but haven`t heard back from him !!  Still think that it has been damaged and re-cut though !!
