This galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, viewed at a high inclination, nearly edge-on from our line of sight. It displays a distinct central bulge, appearing yellowish. Fainter, bluish light is observable in a flattened disk extending outward from the central bulge. The disk appears elongated, suggesting an elliptical shape when viewed face-on. There is faint evidence of dust lanes running along the plane of the galaxy, further suggesting a spiral nature.
