The galaxy presents as a highly inclined disk galaxy, seen nearly edge-on. It exhibits a prominent central bulge region, which appears relatively smooth and concentrated. Faint, extended arms are visible on either side of the bulge, although these are somewhat indistinct. The overall shape is elongated, with an axis ratio that indicates a flattened structure. Dust lanes appear present near the central plane of the galaxy, obscuring some of the light from the bulge. There also seems to be a faint tidal tail on one side of the galaxy. The galaxy has a redder color profile in the central bulge, and a more blueish color on the outer edges of the disk.
