The galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, elliptical galaxy, with a concentrated central bulge. The overall color is yellowish-orange, suggesting an older stellar population with a low rate of ongoing star formation. There is a slight elongation to the galaxy, it does not appear perfectly spherical, and is somewhere in between round and cigar shaped. There are no clearly defined spiral arms or dust lanes visible. There is very little, if any, sign of any merger. Overall, the light distribution is quite diffuse, consistent with an object at a significant redshift.
