Meaning:
The money bag is an attribute of St. Matthew, the local patron saint. The belfry is a representation of the local parish church, which had been damaged during an eruption of a local volcano in 1808 and refurbished in 1822. The braids are a species of fungus (Latin: Roccella tinctoria / Portuguese: urzela). They are the base for the production of litmus and here canting elements.
