The galaxy appears as an elongated structure, viewed edge-on relative to our line of sight. The central bulge is bright and concentrated, displaying a yellowish-white hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. A distinct dust lane bisects the galaxy, visible as a dark red band across the central region, indicating significant obscuration. The overall morphology suggests a disk galaxy, though the lack of resolved spiral arms limits further classification. Faint, diffuse extensions are observed extending outwards from the central region, potentially representing a halo or tidal debris from past interactions. The light distribution is relatively smooth, with no obvious signs of major disturbances or ongoing mergers. The object is small on the angular scale, likely indicating a moderate distance.
