May someone explain the interesting radio shape and how to describe the morphology?

Double? Looks interesting

I agree, and would add #bent and possibly #asym. However, the bend in the lobes makes it more of an #S-shaped that a WAT. Explanation? Likely a combination of inhomogeneity in the ISM (inter-stellar medium) of the host galaxy (zsp 0.325 SDSS J124834.74+352817.3, quite interesting-looking, perhaps an overlap or merger) - causing one jet to be more attenuated than the other - precession of the jets (I don't know if reasons for precession are well-understood) - causing the S-shape - and inhomogeneity in the IGM (inter-galactic medium).
Hope this helps, and happy hunting! 😃
