The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent central bulge is visible, appearing somewhat elongated and boxy in shape. Dust lanes are readily apparent, obscuring portions of the galactic disk. The disk itself appears relatively smooth. There is no significant evidence of a major ongoing merger, however some tidal distortion is evident, hinting at a possible past interaction with a nearby galaxy, or a minor disturbance within the galaxy itself. The object exhibits a redder color, potentially indicative of an older stellar population or significant dust extinction.
