De Vaucouleurs Atlas Description:

The inner ring is an exceptionally conspicuous feature in this late S0. The primary bar fills the ring and includes a strong secondary bar (see also Erwin 2004 and references therein). The outer disk includes a weak trace of a pseudoring. The morphology in the K_s band is similar to B for this early-type system.
