The arms are Argent a cogwheel Gules flanked by two maize plants Vert fruited Or and in chief on a splendour Azure a scales Or on the point of a flame sword Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "MILHEIRÓS DE POIARES".
Meaning:
Since "milheirós" is an apparently meaningless word stemming from "_milho_", "maize", these elements of the arms are canting. Sword and scales are the attributes of St. Michael.
