This may have been a Nahhat at some time, (the back & neck look right) but the face and fingerboard have been replaced, and not with the original
design. Everything about the soundboard except the roses is wrong. Another tragic repair of a valuable antique. Nahhat no longer. Caveat emptor!

Surely the bowl is worth the current bid of 99 dollars?

Looks like someone stuck an Ali Khalifeh face on it . . . hilarious! At a minimum, face, fingerboard, bridge, pegs, and nut are all very much not
original.

The soundboard seems literally like Khalife ouds.. especially the inlays on the face around the rosette and even the size of the bowl. Definitely
fishy.
