The second quarter shows a lily and a branch crossed one by another and a silver wavy bar for the Paraíba river.
The lower part of the shield shows the attributes of a group of early 16^th century explores in the area, a gun, sword, axe and flag.

The motto can be translated as "Generous are my air and my land."
