Shield Argent a rosemary bush eradicated Vert fruited Purpure, a swarm of bees Sable winged Or and ordered 3:4. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "ENXAMES – FUNDÃO".
Meaning:
The bush represents the local flora and especially the abundance of rosemary giving the landscape its typical purple colour and being some kind of a pasture for the canting bees, as the translation of the name of the commune means "swarms (of bees)".
