The galaxy appears to be an elliptical galaxy at an approximate distance where its light is redshifted by about 20%. It is a large galaxy, with an effective radius of approximately 5 kiloparsecs.

The galaxy presents a mostly smooth, featureless appearance with a bright central bulge that dominates the galaxy's luminosity. The galaxy shape is close to a spherical symmetry. There are no obvious signs of spiral arms or a prominent disk structure, but some irregularities can be observed in the outer reaches of the galaxy. There is a small amount of light appearing blue, suggesting there may be small amounts of ongoing star formation. The colors become redder with distance from the center. The light distribution falls off smoothly from the center outwards. There do not appear to be any other galaxies nearby with which it is strongly interacting.
