This galaxy appears to be in the process of a merger. The main body exhibits a relatively smooth, centralized bulge with a yellowish-orange hue, indicating an older stellar population. Extending outwards, there is evidence of a disturbed disk-like structure. One region of the disk, on the right side of the image, exhibits a bluer coloration, suggesting ongoing star formation. Irregularities and faint extensions emanate from the main body, further supporting the interaction with another galaxy. Overall the object appears distorted from a purely elliptical or spiral morphology.
