At the image on Facebook we can see a banner carrying a painting of the coat of arms. In a sense, it is treated like a municipal flag as it is hung up on a staff, although not really designed like one in the traditional sense (it is an off-centered photograph of the painting on a piece of fabric closer to a square in size).

Coat of Arms

The coat of arms of Nácori Chico was designed by Manuel García Madrid as Councilor of Culture for the Mountainous Zone in August of 2002, being asked to do so by the Municipal President Rosario Madrid Moreno. Description of the coat of arms, according to the municipality:

Over a field of azure, a parchment rolled in its two extremes contains the body of the Coat of Arms (all in a colored field) which almost forms the Coat of Arms of the State of Sonora in its lower portion to denote the fact that Nácori Chico is a Sonoran Municipality. It is bordered by a double ribbon in red and black, colors of the Opata Flag with which it is expressed that its territory in its origins was occupied by the Glorious Opata Culture, the most important of the Northwest of Mexico. The Parchment, on a Golden Field, in its upper portion carries the years 1645 and 1917, which indicate respectively: the foundation of the Mission of Santa Rosa of Lima of Nácori and the erection of Nácori Chico as a Municipality; in its lower portion, the name of the Municipal Area is registered: NACORI CHICO. Below the Parchment, the body of the coat of arms is decorated by a cactus filled with fruits starting from a stylized rock, stylized in the same manner as our National Coat of Arms, which symbolizes the etymologic significance of the name of the Municipality from the Opata language: "Place of Prickly Pears or Place of Cacti". In the upper portion, in major proportions the beautiful architecture of the Catholic Temple, all in silver and being the seat of the Original Mission; at its feet the head of an Eagle, stylized in the Nahua manner, is meant to represent the Opata Nation, principal race from which the Municipal population is descended, and also remembers the figure and human value most eminent in the Opata lands, rigorously historic and whom locals and foreigners have known as THE GREAT SIBOTARI [sic; SISIBUTARI is meant], unifier of the Opata lands and "Preconfigurator of the actual Sonoran personality". In the dexter, a forest of trees and logs speak of the Forest wealth of the Municipality with their wood, and going back an open book which exhibits the Municipality as a producer of many Literary creators, Children of it and principal exponents of Municipal Culture. The body of the coat of arms is divided into, centrally, by a long stripe which is also bordered by the colors of the Opata lands and registers the name of the Jesuit Missionary Father Cristóbal García, founder of the Mission in 1645. The three lower sections highlight the colors of our shown Fatherland, to express that our Municipality is a cell of the great Political division of the Mexican Republic, and that by the same it is proud of its Mexican identity. The bluish-green exhibits the head of a bovine, symbol of the principal source of wealth of the Municipality; the creamy white shows the head of a cow most characteristic of the Municipality: the Jaguar or NAIDOHUATL in the Native language, a Feline which is in danger of extinction; on a field of gules the head of an Equine is highlighted, the most noble and auxiliar utility of the Rancher and cattle-raiser of Sonora in the Mountainous Zone of the State.
