Shield Or a bend sinister wavy Azure charged with a bundle sinister wavy Argent, on sinister chief three arrows Gules in fan tied Vert, on dexter base two Roman swords Gules in saltire. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "RIBEIRA DOS CARINHOS".
Meaning:
The blue bend sinister is a representation of the Pega creek (Portuguese: ribeira), flowing alongside the border of the commune, and it is a canting element. The Roman swords are another canting element, alluding to the Roman commander Carinos with Carinhos being the people belonging to him. They also symbolise the old age of the settlement. The arrows are an attribute of St. Sebastian, the local patron saint.
