The shell displays a uniform color, ranging from a somber purplish-brown to brownish-yellow or creamy buff, with paler nodules encircling its periphery. The shell is moderately large and takes on a spindle-like shape, with a tall and moderately long spire. The siphonal canal has a slight curve. Each of the 10 to 11 whorls is prominently keeled and adorned with nodules. There are numerous closely spaced spiral cords, intersected by robust diagonal nodules on the peripheral cord, totaling 22-27 on the final whorls. Two sturdy cords are situated just below the suture, and the sinus is notably deep.
