The whorls are evenly rounded, and the surface is sculpted with fine spiral threads.

The parietal region shows an indistinct, in-running spiral ridge just below the insertion of the outer lip.

The interior of the outer lip is smooth, and the tip of the spire is slightly bulbous when intact, though it may appear worn or damaged.

[2] The shell is whitish, covered by a thin, pale horn-colored or orange-brown periostracum, which is often eroded on the spire.
