The galaxy exhibits a complex morphology, appearing to be in the late stages of a major merger. The primary body presents a distorted shape with significant tidal features, including extended arms and tails of stellar material. The overall color gradient suggests a population of both older stars, indicated by the redder hues, and regions of ongoing star formation, marked by bluer knots and irregular structures. The galaxy displays a general lack of well-defined spiral structure. The central region is diffuse, lacking a pronounced nucleus. The galaxy's overall light distribution implies a relatively high mass and star-formation rate. There are also noticeable dust lanes and patches, obscuring some of the starlight.
