The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy observed edge-on. A prominent central bulge dominates the galaxy's core, appearing yellowish-red. This colour suggests an older stellar population within the bulge. The surrounding disk is thinner and less prominent, displaying a fainter, slightly bluer hue at its edges, indicative of younger star formation regions. There appears to be a slight warp, or tidal distortion, at one end of the galaxy, possibly the result of an ancient interaction. There are no obvious signs of a major ongoing merger event, but minor disturbances cannot be excluded.
