The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy viewed edge-on or a lenticular galaxy. The bulge is prominent and appears relatively smooth and featureless, with a concentrated, bright nucleus. A faint disk extends outwards from the bulge, with some possible dust lanes visible. The galaxy exhibits a elongated, cigar-like shape. There is some evidence of disturbance. The color gradients suggest active star formation, with bluer regions in the outer disk.
