The album cover for Alva by Mari Boine is a mix of natural and symbolic elements. Central to the composition is a white animal skull, possibly a deer or a similar creature, resting on a bed of lush greenery dotted with red berries and purple flowers.

A vivid burst of color emerges from the left side, with diagonal streaks of pink, orange, and yellow.
