The arms are Or a beam balance scale Gules garnished Argent and in base a mattock Vert - usually in 3D perspective - garnished Argent. Mural crown argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "BALANÇA".
Meaning:
The word "Balança" means "(beam) balance (scale)", the weighing instrument, and the arms are thus partly canting.
