We report a (51)V-NMR study on a high-quality powder sample of volborthite Cu3V2O7(OH)2 . 2H2O, a spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a distorted kagome lattice formed by isosceles triangles. In the magnetic fields below 4.5 T, a sharp peak in the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T(1) accompanied with line broadening revealed a magnetic transition near 1 K. The low temperature phase shows anomalies such as a Lorentzian line shape, a 1/T(1) proportional, variantT behavior indicating dense low-energy excitations, and a large spin-echo decay rate 1/T(2) pointing to unusually slow fluctuations. Another magnetic phase appears above 4.5 T with less anomalous spectral shape and dynamics.
