High angular resolution infrared mapping of the enigmatic far-infrared source NGC 6334-V shows it to have a bipolar structure at 1 - 4 μm. This structure together with the near-infrared colors and previous observations of H2 emission suggests a model for the source (IRS 4) in which a single luminous star is embedded in a dust cloud with a disklike geometry. Photometry of near-infrared sources within 0.5 pc of IRS 4 is also presented. These data suggest that there are at least four lower luminosity members of a young, dense cluster associated with the dominant source.
