The galaxy presents as a relatively compact, elliptical-like structure. It appears to be in the process of a major merger, with a primary concentration of light appearing as a bright, slightly elongated core. A secondary concentration of light is also visible, suggesting a possible ongoing interaction or collision with another galaxy, or perhaps an asymmetrical nucleus. The overall color appears to be dominated by redder wavelengths, indicating an older stellar population, however there is some indication of blue which indicates there might be some ongoing star formation. There is no clear indication of spiral arms or a well-defined disk structure. The object exhibits a moderately smooth texture, with no obvious dust lanes or prominent features apart from the two brighter, central condensations. Based on its red color and smooth appearance, a significant fraction of the galaxy's stars are likely older, Population II stars.
