Shield Argent, a chevron in counter-point Sable, in chief a fig twig Vert fruited Purpure, over all a circular rosary Azure. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "VALE DE FIGUEIRA - S. JOÃO DA PESQUEIRA"
Meaning:
The name of the commune means "valley of the fig tree". If the chevron is symbolizing a valley, then twig and chevron together are canting.
