The spiral sculpture consists of (on the spire three) strong blunt keels, of which two near the periphery are the most prominent, with subequal wide interspaces.

There is a fourth less prominent one on which the suture is laid which only shows on the body whorl.

The axial sculpture consists of very fine close uniform sharp incremental lines.

The thin outer lip is sharp, undulated by the sculpture.
