Its colour is dull white, radially painted with flames of black or chocolate, which persist more on ribs than interstices.

The interstices are occupied by one or two spiral threads and roughened by fine radial growth lines.

On the base, eight similar spiral cords decrease in size from the periphery to the umbilicus.

An expansion of the columella slightly intrudes upon the umbilicus, which is narrow but deep, margined by a crenulate rib, internally with two deep-seated funicles.
