The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring light from the galactic plane. The central bulge appears rounded and relatively concentrated with a yellowish hue, suggesting an older stellar population. Faint, diffuse extensions are visible at both poles. The object exhibits a reddish tint at the extreme ends and a yellow tint along the central region, indicative of potential areas of active star formation within its disk. There are no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger or tidal disturbances.
