Coat of Arms

image by António Martins-Tuválkin and Sérgio Horta, 28 Dec 2024

Shield Gules an oven Argent masoned Sable and open Or, on chief an oxcart Or loaded with barrels Argent hooped Sable, on base a lyre Or garnished Sable and stringed Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "QUEIMADELA - ARMAMAR".
Meaning:
The word "queimadela" is a somewhat archaic diminutive of "queimada" (in either sense), which is the name of a nearby village, likely this village originated as an offshot of any sort of the latter, as happens in so many analogous cases. Unlike its senior counterpart, though, the arms of Queimadela are not canting, unless the oven is taken as an indirect reference to burning. Source shows the same an equivalent image like Sérgio Horta with differeng details.
