På rød bunn tre sølv hestehoder i skrå rekke.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on October 4, 1974.
The arms show three horse heads with waving manes. The arms are canting from the old Norse word skeiðismór, a field used for horse racing, hence the waving manes of the horses.
Literature : Norwegian Municipal Network and Norske Kommunevåpen, Kommunalforlaget, 1987.
