Interesting!
Why does it look like a mandolin ?

C: Why not? I've seen much stranger things.
Like bell-shaped Washburn guitars and ukes [and they sold, too], and that's only the tip of the iceberg . . .
Now when someone says, "what a cute ukulele", they won't be wrong, lol!

A bunch of stuff with four strings
Eight-string tenor and concert sized ukuleles -- some call them "taropatches," but the original taropatches were soprano sized -- aren't that uncommon. I play one made by Regal in the 1930's-'40's.
And as pointed out, if you commission a luthier to build you one, you can get whatever silhouette he/she will agree to make.

Is it steel string or nylon string? If steel, isn't it a mandola? If nylon, isn't it a nylon string mandola?
Looking at the close up images provided, they are certainly nylon strings.
