Shield Or chausse Sable with fig tree eradicated Vert fruited Purpure. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "FOROS DE VALE DE FIGUEIRA".
Meaning:
The V-shaped arms design is reprenting a valley containing a fig tree (Port.: vale de figueiro). The arms are thus canting.
