The very solid shell has a conical shape and is angulate at the periphery, with a very shallow umbilicus.

It is white, variegated with maculations and radiating zigzag stripes of purplish red.

The apical ones, when not eroded, are spirally striate, the following granose-lirate, the last bearing on its upper surface five coarse beaded lirae, the fifth forming the periphery.

The base of the shell is slightly convex, bearing six beaded lirae.

The umbilicus perforates scarcely deeper than the insertion of the straight columella.
