The galaxy appears to be an elliptical type, exhibiting a smooth, featureless morphology. Its overall color is yellowish-white, indicative of an older stellar population with fewer young, hot stars. It is interacting with a smaller companion galaxy. The larger elliptical galaxy is considerably brighter and more massive than the smaller companion. It appears that the galaxy is in the early stages of a merger, as it is not strongly disturbed. The two galaxies are moderately close in proximity. The roundness of the galaxy is in between perfectly round and cigar shaped. It has relatively low star forming activity.
