Snow Leopard - set of 4 cards

£18.00

To this day a snow leopard migration route passes through the Altai Mountains straddling the border between East Kazakhstan and the Altai Republic, Siberia. The inspiration for this set comes from 2 Iron Age archaeological finds, one from either side of the border. These ancient images suggest that Altai has been home to the illusive snow leopard for the past 2,500 years.
