Description
A medium-sized, conical seashell with a moderately elevated spire. Its surface is typically orange-brown to reddish-brown, adorned with irregular white bands that often contain darker spots or streaks. The shell tapers towards a narrow anterior end, and the aperture is long and slender. The surface can appear somewhat granular or textured, especially on the spire.
