The galaxy appears to be in a transitional state, possibly undergoing or having recently undergone a merger or interaction with another galactic structure. The primary body of the galaxy presents an elongated morphology, tending toward a cigar shape, with a smooth central luminosity profile. Some degree of disturbance is evident in its overall structure, suggesting potential tidal effects.

Color gradients exist across the galaxy. A more reddish hue is concentrated towards the central region. The extremities, and a notable arc on the left side of the galaxy, exhibit bluer colors, indicating the presence of younger, hotter stellar populations. The reddish central region suggests an older stellar population and potentially a higher concentration of dust.

There are at least two additional, smaller objects associated with this galaxy. These appear more compact. One in particular shows an extended structure along its major axis and some degree of symmetry, suggesting it is a smaller elliptical or spheroidal galaxy. These could be tidal dwarf galaxies or remnant cores of merged galaxies. A third, much smaller object to the right of the main galaxy is indistinct.
