The galaxy exhibits a somewhat ambiguous morphology, presenting characteristics of both a smooth, spheroidal structure and features suggestive of a disk. The dominant feature is a large, centralized bulge, appearing yellowish in color, which indicates an older stellar population. There are hints of fainter, bluer structures which might be spiral arms, seen partially edge-on. The low surface brightness of these features implies a relatively low rate of star formation. There appears to be a companion galaxy, and possibly some signs of gravitational interaction. The overall appearance suggests a system that is likely somewhere along an evolutionary path, possibly past its peak in star formation.
