You're absolutely right Battara! It is most definitely not a kora

What I think is interesting though is the 'fishtail' effect that occurs and how it relates to the shape of the kora hilt. Since the kora is of couse from Nepal, north of the Assam regions, it is interesting to consider the possibility of the ancient 'milemnok' of the early Nagan people in possible development ancestry of the kora.

You're welcome Ben

Best regards,
Jim
