Shield Argent a Marian crown Azure bejewelled Or and two maize cobs Or leafed Vert set one and two, issuant from flanches and from a base wavy Azure charged with a barrulet wavy Argent a single-arch bridge Sable masoned Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "COVAS DO BARROSO".
Meaning:
The Marian crown is this time topped with a dove, so it is the third different topping in a few neighbouring communes. I´d call this a Holy Ghost crown. It is also blue, but blazoned as such and we have seen golden crowns blazoned as Marian too. And St. Mary is the localpatron saint.
