The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, seen edge-on or at a high inclination. Its light is dominated by the redder wavelengths, suggesting an older stellar population with relatively little ongoing star formation. The galaxy exhibits a smooth, elliptical profile, but also contains a flattened, disk-like structure. The central bulge is prominent and has a high surface brightness. There is a slight asymmetry in the galaxy's shape, possibly indicating a minor gravitational interaction or internal disturbance. There does not appear to be evidence of strong tidal features or a recent major merger.
