The galaxy presents a largely smooth morphology, suggestive of an elliptical or lenticular type. Its overall shape is elongated, appearing cigar-shaped, with the major axis significantly longer than the minor axis. The central bulge is prominent and appears to be relatively bright, exhibiting a yellowish hue. There are faint indications of a possible disk structure, though it is not sharply defined. No spiral arms or prominent dust lanes are readily apparent. There are no obvious signs of recent major merger activity, although some minor disturbance cannot be ruled out. The galaxy displays a red shift, and appears to be relatively massive. The blue light from star formation is suppressed.
