How old is the kora, as a type?

I find this very interesting, especially as the kora is unsheated while all the other swords are sheated.

Fascinating! Thankyou.

I notice the kora Grip is what is usualy considered Nepali or Tibetan style rather than Indian.

The fellow who appers to have it wears a different hat as well.

I wonder what the story is?

Yes the text to the picture would be interesting. He could be visiting, as he has both a bow, and as the only on, a sword without a scabbard(?), and none of the others have either bows or swords without scabbards.
