This galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. A bright, concentrated central bulge dominates its core, suggesting a high stellar density in this region. Extending outwards from the core, a fainter, diffuse disk is observed. There appears to be some bluing in the disk region, possibly indicating ongoing star formation. No distinct spiral arm structures are readily visible. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed, with no obvious signs of a recent major merger. However, there are slight irregularities in the outer disk region. The overall smooth appearance suggests the galaxy is likely undergoing a transition from a spiral to an elliptical form, which is consistent with a redshift of z ~ 0.16.
