The galaxy exhibits a complex morphology, suggestive of an ongoing or recent interaction or merger.  There appear to be two distinct bright components, possibly galactic nuclei, indicating that the object is in the process of merging.  These central regions exhibit an elliptical shape. There's a plume or tidal tail extending from one of the components, indicating gravitational disturbance and material being stripped away from the merging galaxies.  The color is generally red, possibly indicating an older stellar population, and subdued star formation. The galaxy appears relatively smooth overall, with little indication of defined spiral arm structure. The galaxy is compact in size, with a relatively concentrated light profile.
