The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated object. It exhibits a generally smooth texture, with a high degree of radial symmetry, that is more pronounced at its center and diffused outwards. There is a slight blue tinge to the outer regions that is likely caused by the presence of younger, hotter stars. The object does not present a clear spiral or barred spiral structure, nor any obvious tidal features, although subtle asymmetries in the outer isophotes hint at possible past or ongoing minor interactions. Based on the colors and morphology, the galaxy is most likely an intermediate spiral or perhaps even an elliptical galaxy seen nearly edge on.
