The galaxy appears to be an interacting system, likely in the process of merging with another galaxy. One component exhibits a somewhat elongated, cigar-like morphology, potentially an elliptical galaxy or a spiral seen edge-on. It possesses a bright central bulge that fades gradually into the surrounding halo. There are hints of a disk-like structure but it is hard to confirm. The other galaxy is more diffuse and appears to have a more disorganized structure. There's evidence of tidal features or disturbances, suggesting gravitational interaction between the galaxies. The color is overall relatively uniform, indicating a lack of significant ongoing star formation, primarily composed of older stellar populations. There is a slightly bluer tint on the edge of one of the galaxies indicating more recent star formation, however.
