Shield Argent, a fess Sable masoned Argent (see left images) or Or (see right images acc. to official website), in chief an orb Azure garnished Or with its cross Or, in base three fig leaves Vert veined Or ordered 2:1. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "FIGUEIREDO - BRAGA".
Meaning:
The word "figueiredo" in Portuguese, besides being a very common surname, means "figtree grove" - the leaves are therefore canting elements.
