The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy seen nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring light from the galactic bulge. The bulge appears predominantly rounded. Patches of star formation are visible along the galactic disk, especially on one end, indicating active regions of ongoing or recent stellar genesis. The overall colour suggests a moderate redshift and a significant stellar mass, typical for galaxies at this cosmological distance. There are no visible signs of tidal disturbances or major mergers, suggesting a relatively quiescent recent evolutionary history. There may be minor disturbances present based on asymmetric distribution of dust.
