The mean diameter of the asteroid was calculated to be 3.802 (± 0.092) km . With an albedo of 0.405 (± 0.074) it has a bright surface for an asteroid.

Mean distance from the sun ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid lie within the respective limit values ​​that are defined for the Nysa group, a group of asteroids named after (44) Nysa (also called Hertha family, according to (135) Hertha ).

(8143) Nezval is named after the Czech poet Vítězslav Nezval (1900–1958). Nezval is considered a co-founder of poetism and a leading figure in Czech surrealism .
