The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed edge-on. A prominent central bulge is visible, exhibiting a concentrated, relatively smooth light distribution. The bulge appears slightly elongated along the major axis of the galaxy. The disk is thin and largely obscured by dust, especially near the galaxy's midplane. The dust lane is not sharply defined but rather appears as a gradual obscuration of light. There is very little to no evidence of recent major merger activity. It is highly likely that any star formation rate is very low. The outer regions of the disk appear faint and diffuse. The central bulge displays a rounded morphology.
