The dorsum surface is not particularly smooth and shiny as is commonly the case in cowries.

The basic color is light beige or cream, with irregular dark brown patches on the top and many light brown spots on the sides.

The calloused margins are whitish, while the base is white, with a large sinuous aperture with only traces of labial teeth.

This species occurs only in the Arabian Sea along the mainland coast of Oman, and on Masirah Island.

These cowries live in intertidal shallow waters, mainly on coral reef but also on sandy and muddy sea bed.
