Four swords (like the ones used to form the 'A A' on the inside flap) border the image. The band's logo sits half an inch above the swords in flaming letters using the band's signature font, below the four swords is the album title (ONCE SENT FROM THE GOLDEN HALL). All artwork was created by Peter Kinmark.
