Origin/meaning

The arms have not officially been adopted as far as I know, but were designed in 1994. The arms show in a quartered shield in the first and fourth quarter a Paschal Lamb (Agnus Dei) for the Abbott of Ham, who had the right to appoint the local priest. The second and third quarter show an image of St. Nicholas, patron saint of the vilalge.

Literature : Bouchet et al, 1994
