I have no information on the meaning or origin of these arms. Any information is welcome !
The arms show a walnut tree (which is a canting element, Ořech=(wal)nut), which was already used on the oldest known seal of the village Velký Ořechov from 1740. The grape knife is a symbol for the village of Ořechovičky and the plough for the village of Tikovice. Both symbolise the agricultural character of the villages and were used on the old village seals.
