The galaxy presents an elongated, cigar-shaped morphology, indicating it is likely an elliptical galaxy or a lenticular galaxy viewed edge-on. Its color profile is primarily a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population with lower levels of recent star formation activity and a prominence of evolved, redder stars. There appears to be a slightly bluer halo surrounding the central region, which could indicate some presence of younger, hotter stars, though the overall color suggests this is a small contribution to the galaxy's total stellar content. There is no obvious spiral arm structure or dust lane visible. The light is concentrated towards the center of the galaxy, indicating a bulge and a generally smooth, featureless appearance, which also aligns with characteristics of elliptical galaxies.
