The S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 3.6 hours and measures approximately 22 kilometers (14 miles) in diameter.

Kutaïssi was discovered on 19 August 1933, by Soviet astronomer Grigory Neujmin at Simeiz Observatory on the Crimean peninsula.

[1] The first rotational light curve of Kutaïssi was obtained from photometric observations by American astronomer Richard Binzel in February 1984.

[9] In 1987 and 2004, a group of American astronomers obtained concurring light curves with a period of 3.624±0.001 and 3.624±0.006 hours and an amplitude of 0.30 and 0.42 magnitude, respectively (U=2/3).

[4][5][6][7][8] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link derives an albedo of 0.1216 and a diameter of 25.53 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 10.87.
