The Samnitic shield, the first style of shield introduced in Portugal from France and inherited by the Brazilian heraldry, evokes the colonizing race that mainly built our nation. The six-towered mural crown argent represents a third-rank town, seat of a municipality. Argent is a symbol of peace, friendship, work, prosperity, purity and religious feeling. The cross patty gules evokes the Christian faith of people and the chapel dedicated to St. Michael erected in 1928 by Miguel Carmona. The cross patty was also used by the Portuguese seamen on the sails of their ships, and by the pioneers during the conquest of the hinterland. The hunting horn represents cattle breeding, one of the main sources of income of the municipality, while the axes recall the clearings of the forest made around 1917 to establish rural estates. Sable is a symbol of austerity, prudence, knowledge, moderation and strong- mindedness. The base of the shield represents Fish River (rio do Peixe), recalling that the town was established in its valley. Azure is a symbol of justice, nobleness, perseverance, zeal and loyalty. Or is a symbol of glory, splendour, greatness, wealth and sovereignty. The branch of cotton and the plant of groundnut represent the main products of the generous and fertile soil, being the main source of income for the municipality. The years on the scroll recall the great clearings and the political and administrative emancipation, respectively.
