Broad-band infrared photometry of a diffuse object discovered by Graham and Phillips in the vicinity of the peculiar galaxy NGC 5128 is presented. These data support their contention that this object is a moderately metal-rich globular cluster. At 2.2 microns its luminosity is comparable to, or as much as one magnitude brighter than, the brightest globulars observed in M31; the exact value depends on the distance modulus to NGC 5128.
