The album cover for Pearl Hunting by Belle Morte features a woman with long, wavy hair sits in a contemplative pose, adorned in a bohemian-style dress with rich, earthy tones and intricate patterns. She holds a small seashell in her hand. The background blends elements of fantasy and gothic imagery, with glowing strands resembling bioluminescent filaments in her hair.
