It's almost a shame the ornate paint on this Black Cat 29er singlespeed covers up the neat lugwork.
That's not a lug though is it? It's a gusset? Note how there isn't a seam between the lug and the headtube where the headtube would have to run through it? It's a bit of tube, cut out fancily, brazed onto the headtube then the downtube brazed into it like a lug to make it look pretty and function like a gusset. Lugs are forged/cast for strength.

It's a lug, where does it say they have to be cast?

That's a bi laminate lug and very nicely done.
