Shield Vert two oak twigs Argent fructed Gules set fesswise, in chief a helicon Argent, issuant from flanches and from base wavy Argent, charged with a barrulet wavy Azure, a two-arch hump bridge Or masoned Sable. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "CARVALHEIRA - TERRAS DE BOURO".
Meaning:
The word "carvalheira" is an unclear cognate of "carvalho" (an oak). The arms are therefore partly canting.
