The galaxy presents as a centrally concentrated, relatively smooth, and luminous object. Its overall form appears largely spheroidal, with a high degree of central concentration that fades gradually outwards. There is a dominant, almost star-like, central region. Faint extensions on either side imply a disk-like or tidal feature, although this is a minor component. The galaxy exhibits a yellowish to reddish color, suggestive of an older stellar population. The general lack of clearly defined spiral arms or prominent dust lanes indicates a more evolved system. There are some faint disturbances, perhaps minor interactions with other smaller galaxies nearby. There is some evidence of ongoing or recent merger activity based on a few faint asymmetric tidal features.
