Coat of arms

Shield Gules, a watermill's wheel Or, flanked by two flax branches Argent tied in base, in chief a crowing rooster statant Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "POLVOREIRA".
Meaning:
The crowing rooster might here be an attribute of St. Peter, the local patron saint. But it is not very likely, because here the rooster would rather be a mark of abatement (of St. Peter).
