The galaxy presents a disturbed morphology, exhibiting features indicative of an ongoing or recent merger event. A central, somewhat concentrated bulge region shows a yellowish-white color, suggesting an older stellar population. Arcing structures of bluer light extend outwards from this central region. These appear to be tidal tails of material being pulled from the galaxy during the gravitational interaction. The tails are relatively diffuse and have an irregular shape, indicating that the merger may be in a late stage, or that the progenitor galaxies were of significantly different masses. There are also suggestions of some internal disk structure with some small patches that appear to have recent star formation. The overall angular size is fairly small indicating this galaxy is likely at an intermediate to high redshift.
