Shield Argent two barrulets wavy Azure between two grape bunches Purple leafed Vert in fess on chief and a three-twig holly branch Vert fructed Gules on base. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "RIBEIRA - TERRAS DE BOURO"
Meaning:
The word "ribeira" means in modern Portuguese both "riverside" or "river bank" and also "creek" or "brook"; the wavy barrulets on the arms are therefore canting.
