Colour whitish, patterned with spiral bands and bursts of dark purplish brown with whitish spots; in some specimens one or more bands may be broader and besides the whitish spots there is a network of straight or undulating lines of differing length.

Surface rather shiny, with growth striae somewhat incrassate. Protoconch with a reticulate sculpture of axial riblets and spiral striae, which are of equal strength. Whorls 6.4, hardly convex; suture impressed and ascending in front. Aperture subovate, inside with a purplish hue, showing the dark bands (but without whitish spots); 1.55 times as long as wide, 0.51 times total shell length.
