You may be able to find the snow leopard "chasing" sheep and ibex, all circled by stylized representations of the flora that sustains this 'circle of life' and the mountains that serve as home to these species and the communities where this rug was made.

This rug is large and can be expensive to ship! We understand that an unexpectedly high shipping rate might deter some, but we try our best to charge what we end up paying to ship your rug. However, this system is automated and is not always 100% accurate since these rugs require larger box dimensions than usual shipments. If you think your estimate is inaccurate or have questions, please reach out to shop@snowleopard.org and we can help get you the most accurate shipping estimate possible.
