===Official blazon===
Punaisessa kentässä aaltokoroinen kultapaalu, jonka pääliikkeenä on musta, viritetty jalkajousi mustakärkisine kultanuolineen; tyvessä paalun kummallakin puolella saatteena kultainen aurankärki.

The pale symbolises the  waterways, the crossbow the hunting expeditions in ancient times and the plowshares symbolise the agricultural character of the municipality.
