The galaxy presents as a flattened, elongated spheroid. The light profile is centrally concentrated, with a smooth, gradual decrease in luminosity extending from the core outward. The overall color is slightly reddish or golden, suggesting an older stellar population. There is no discernible spiral structure or distinct features such as star-forming regions, suggesting a relatively passive galaxy. There is a very minor disturbance to its shape, but otherwise its form is maintained. The shape can best be described as cigar-shaped.
