Probably a shiho kama tsugi - the four-faced gooseneck joint. This has a
gooseneck tenon, but it appears to have one on each of the four sides.
Like most of these "impossible" joints to assemble, it's a diagonal
slide to assemble it.
It's not a particularly good joint, because it offers no location along
the 45° plane
A large peg through the top would take care of that, surely?
