The flag is a horizontal tricolor, flag green (i.e., the same green
as in the Brazilian national flag), white, and royal blue, with the
municipal coat of arms on the center of the white stripe. The coat
of arms is yellow with the heraldic symbol of the shoe industry (a
skin, hammer, and awl), having at the top a fess with the words "FÉ,
DIGNIDADE E TRABALHO (Faith, dignity, and work)." The shield is
flanked by branches of rice and wheat. Above it, a crown symbolizes
the faith that rules over the municipality. The scroll is inscribed
with the name of the municipality and the dates of its creation and
its attainment of municipal independence.
