The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, seen nearly edge-on. The central bulge is prominent and elongated. A faint, extended disk is visible, with a suggestion of some warping, or asymmetry. There is a red area visible at the top of the galaxy, which implies a dust lane or some star forming region. Overall, it exhibits characteristics indicating a mature system with a relatively low star formation rate. There may be minor disturbances. The general form is ellipsoidal but not completely spheroidal.
