The body whorl is decorated with a sculpture featuring a broad, slightly elevated band just below the suture, along with two narrower and more elevated bands at the widest point, and an additional three on the lower side. The operculum exhibits a slight spiral shape with a nucleus roughly in the center and a small bump on the inner surface. The radula is ptenoglossate.
