Shield Azure with base wavy of Argent and Azure, issuant from base two watermill wheels Or, in chief a palm frond Or in bend. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll (Bénard Guedes style) with inscription in black capitals "MOLDES".
Meaning:
The palm frond as a collective attribute for martyrs here is probably referring to St. Stephen, the local patron saint.
