The galaxy appears as an elongated, disk-shaped structure seen nearly edge-on, although there is noticeable bulge component. Light distribution is concentrated towards the center. Broad dust lanes can be seen running along what appears to be the equatorial plane bisecting the galaxy. The colors seem redder towards the central bulge region. There are hints of spiral arm structure present, but it is unclear. One side is more disturbed than the other. There is a possible outflow emanating from the central bulge. The morphology suggests a potentially evolving or interacting system with a large bulge, possibly an early-type spiral or lenticular galaxy.
