The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, elongated structure, possibly an elliptical or lenticular galaxy viewed at an oblique angle. The core exhibits a concentrated, bright yellowish-white luminosity, suggesting a population of older stars. The galaxy's light gradually diminishes from the core outwards, with no distinct spiral arms or prominent dust lanes visible, implying a lack of significant ongoing star formation. The shape is more akin to that of a cigar, rather than round. There are no obvious signs of tidal disturbances or mergers. The galaxy has a reddish hue, potentially indicative of a relatively high redshift.
