Shield Gules, five hazel twigs Argent in quincunx fruited Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "AVELEDA - BRAGA".
Meaning:
The word "aveleda" doesn't have a lexicographically acknowledged meaning in Portuguese but is is clearly related to "avelã", (= hazelnut). The arms are therefore canting.
