Really Checkmate? by Emily Ratajkowski

During a Vogue Interview Emily Ratajkowski plays a checkmate move on a hand tailored chess board from her father (the pieces are unique which makes it beautiful but a bit difficult to recognize what kind of chess piece it is.

Short question:
Is it checkmate (like Emrata says?)

There was already a discussion about it. Majority says "No checkmate"
So what do you think? Are there any forcing moves? Do you like the design of the pieces? Which pieces are what?
Not checkmate. If the piece on b4 is a bishop or queen, Kc2. If the piece on b4 is a knight, Kd2 or Ke1.
Thats what the linked comment says.
What about forcing lines? And the picture with the starting position?
