The coat of arms of Timbó is prescribed by
Municipal Law No. 77 promulgated on 22 August 1950.
Article 2.
The
coat of arms of the municipality of Timbó is composed of a shield surmounted by
a mural crown proper to municipalities. A red Maltese cross quarters the shield
into four parts, in the center a blue escutcheon inscribed the date "26 de
marzo de 1894", or, the date of inauguration of the municipality. Since Timbó
was separated from Blumenau, its coat of arms is inspired from the arms of
Blumenau. So is the sinister lower field, featuring a flowering field
("Blumenau") on the bank of river Itajaí lit by the Southern Cross.
The
upper sinister quarter features the arms of Brazil.
The upper dexter field
features an anchor and a key, although parts of the arms of Blumenau, meaning
that, incorporated to the country and the state, patriotic Timbó moves with
Santa Catarina and Brazil to a glorious future patroned by the Cross of Christ
that saw the birth of a nation [...]
The lower dexter quarter features the
confluence of two rivers, Cedars' River and the Blessed River, where the
municipal seat is located, and a farmer. Timbó owes its prosperity to
intelligent and rational agriculture, which is highlighted by an ox drawing a
plow.
Industry, growing year after year, is symbolized by the cogwheel
superimposed by a blue scroll placed beneath the shield.
The scroll is
inscribed with the motto or "CLARA EX STIRPE", "Descending from an Illustrious
Branch", here, Blumenau [...].
Supporting the shield, sinister, tobacco
plants [...]. Dexter rice leaves and ripe panicles green and or. These are the
municipality's two main crops.
