The galaxy exhibits a complex morphology. It appears to be in the early stages of a merger, or perhaps a significant interaction with a smaller companion object. The galaxy has a relatively compact core region exhibiting a yellowish-orange color. Above this core, there is an extension of blue-green light.

The overall shape deviates noticeably from spherical symmetry, trending more toward a cigar shape in this projection. There is a hint of a disturbance in the main body. The galaxy shows subtle but definite signs of interaction or merging with a much smaller object, characterized by the distortion of the features described.
