Shield Sable, a fess Argent masoned Sable, in chief an orbicular cross Gules fimbriated Or, base wavy Argent charged with a barrulet Azure. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials "BRUNHOSO".
Meaning:
The orbicular cross is referring to the Templars. The word "brunhoso" may be interpreted to mean "sloe grove", from "brunho" (more often "abrunho", less often "cabrunho"), meaning "sloe", "blackthorn", "damson", plus the Latinate suffix "oso" (eqv. English "-ose", "-ous"); for this meaning the arms are not canting.
