Shield Argent with base wavy of Azure and Argent, an eradicated sorb Vert fruited Gules, flanked by two triplets of rye ears Vert. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black capitals "SORVAL".
Meaning:
The commune's name is related to "sorveira" (= sorb; Latin: Sorbus domestica). The tree is thus canting.
