På blå grunn ein opprett sølv pilodd.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on October 8, 1982.

The arms show a canting arrowhead, or pilodd. The name of the village, however is not derived from an arrow head, but from a landscape element.

Literature : Norwegian Municipal Network and Norske Kommunevåpen, Kommunalforlaget, 1987.
