Heraldic elucidation.

1. A Portuguese shield, aka Iberian, with the base formed by a semi-circle, used in Portugal at the time of Brazil's discovery and colonization, which is, according to Brazilian heraldists the most suitable for the coats of arms featured on the flags of towns. In Brazilian heraldry, it evokes the origin of the race that decisively contributed Portuguese as the primary ethnical component.
2. A mural crown, filled red and with four gated towers, which is the proper and consecrated emblem of municipalities and their administrative autonomy.
3. On a red scroll, the municipality's name and date of political emancipation.
4. A stylized staff and cross, representing the people's Christian faith and a tribute to bishops, fathers and clerics born there.
