A huge pale bald male head with a bruised, corpse-like face dominates the right side, staring left at a tanned, earring-wearing blond man on the left who glares back. Behind them a grey warship burns under a black smoke plume. The title sits in a bevelled chrome banner that mirrors the flames and sky. A gold coin-like medallion with Asian characters flanking it hangs directly beneath the title.

A painted backglass with a mirrored, all-metal title banner across the upper third, reading WATERWORLD in tall bevelled chrome/silver block capitals that reflect a fiery orange glow and the blue sky. The maker's logo sits in the top-left corner: a red circular emblem with a white stylised letter, followed by the word Gottlieb in rounded white sans-serif lettering with a small registration mark. Below the title, centred, is a round gold medallion or coin bearing a relief figure, flanked by two vertical columns of small Asian-script characters. The background is a harbour or dockside scene: bright blue sky, dark industrial cranes and a grey naval destroyer or warship at centre-left, a large warship superstructure, orange flames and black smoke billowing across the middle-right, and dark water. On the left, a large portrait of a middle-aged man with shoulder-length wavy blond-grey hair, tanned weathered skin, stubble, a large round silver earring in his left ear, and a grey textured/chainmail-like collar or armour, staring hard to the right with a grim, wary expression. On the right, an oversized pale bald head of an older man, deeply lined and bruised-looking, in three-quarter profile facing left. Low centre, partly cropped, a dark-haired figure lies amid the wreckage.
