The galaxy appears as an edge-on or highly inclined disk galaxy. A prominent dust lane is observed bisecting the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring the galactic center. The bulge appears primarily rounded. No evidence of a recent major merger event is immediately apparent in the morphology, although a minor disturbance cannot be ruled out. Given its red-shifted color, dust lane, and primarily rounded bulge, the galaxy is consistent with a late-type spiral galaxy seen edge-on. The overall angular size seems relatively compact, with an effective radius of approximately 9.6 Kpc. It presents a relatively smooth appearance.
