The galaxy appears to be an intermediate spiral galaxy, possibly undergoing a merger or showing signs of tidal disturbance. The central bulge is prominent and appears yellowish in color, suggesting an older stellar population. A faint, somewhat disrupted disk surrounds the bulge. There is evidence of bluer regions within the disk, indicative of ongoing star formation. The galaxy exhibits an overall asymmetrical shape. Patches of brighter emission are observed in the outer regions, suggestive of HII regions or star-forming complexes. The overall structure presents characteristics somewhere between a smooth elliptical shape and a more disturbed, disk-like morphology, and merger signatures are apparent.
