The rug is made from 100% natural cowhide leather, light brown, beige and cola patches are taken from best hides and arranged in the design to give it a 2D effect. At the back there is acrylic felt backing, which makes the rug lay flat, grip to the floor and protects it from any underneath floor moisture. Securely rolled packed on a cardboard pole this protects it while in transit and makes it lay flat once unpacked.
