The 6-7 whorls 6- are, flat above, obliquely costate below the sutures, then with several revolving series of granules.

The periphery is sharply carinate, armed with short triangular spines which festoon the sutures and project more or less, about 10–13 in number on the body whorl.

The base of the shell is a little rounded, radiately lamellose striate and concentrically lirate with three to five lirae, mostly tuberculate, especially in the young.

The place of the umbilicus is excavated, whitish, bounded by an intensely orange vermillion tract.
