Proposed Symbols of Vila Meã

It is an unusual Portuguese communal flag, if it will be approved by the Comissão de Heráldica da Associação dos Arqueólogos Portugueses (CHAAP), with the coat of arms centred on a field quartered of white and yellow.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 26 June 2018

Proposed Coat of Arms

Shield Azure, a bend wavy Argent, in sinister chief a Latin cross Or, in dexter base a lion rampant Or, armed and tongued Gules. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "VILA MEÃ".
Meaning:
The bend wavy is representing Rio Odres, the cross is reminding on the fact that Vila Meã had been seat of the municipality of Santa Cruz de Riba-Tâmega, well known as Santa Cruz de Vila Meã from the 2nd half of the 19th century until the first decades of the 20th century, the lion is taken from the family arms of the Castelo Branco kin, whose members had had a wardship over the municipality council. The lion is also referring to many local clubs such as athletics, fishery and beneficence, all having the lion in their logo.

Flag and arms are proposed and probably adopted by the local council, but not yet approved nor published in the official journal Diário da República. In case of its approval the flag would be the very first example of a yellow and white bicolour.
