I am not so sure what kind of fruit was used but from the looks of it, I'm guessing papaya. Young papaya (green papaya) has the shape and colors similar to this. Very interesting artwork, I wish I'll get to learn this kind of art in time.
Mei, 2 girls said it looks like melon...actually the 3 of you =) I had a visual of melon always oblong in shape that's why I thought of papaya all of a sudden =P

Wow! I love the roses craving in the fruit. Oh by the way, it looks like a Winter Melon to me though..

Such a beautifully carved fruit. Some sort of melon? The little red strings looked so Chinese.
