Blazon: Delt av blått og sølv ved virvelsnitt mot venstre. In English: Azure
a schnecke argent from base sinister to sinister.
(The "virvelsnitt" is known in German as Schneckenschnitt, but there is no quite
appropriate English equivalent that I am aware of. See also
http://mistholme.com/dictionary/schnecke/ as well as

Approved by the royal resolution of 7 January 1983 after a drawing by Hallvard
Trætteberg after an idea of Henry Oddlo Erichsen. [c2j87]
The design represents a wave, similar to the of Dønna, but whirling the other
way.
