The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy, or possibly a lenticular galaxy viewed at an angle. It exhibits a smooth, relatively featureless morphology, with a central bulge that dominates the overall structure. The light distribution is concentrated towards the center, gradually fading outwards. The overall shape suggests a somewhat flattened spheroid, leaning towards a cigar-like appearance. There is little evidence of spiral arms or significant dust lanes. Colors range from yellow at the center to slightly bluer hues at the edges. No signs of recent or major mergers are observed.
