Coat of Arms

[.gif)](../images/p/pt-tbctp-tv%29.gif)image by António Martins-Tuválkin and_Sérgio Horta_,

Shield Or on a sun Gules a Paschal Lamb Argent, holding a labarum cruciger Or flagged Argent with a cross Gules, in chief two cherry twigs Vert fructed Gules, base barruly wavy of four of Azure and Argent. Mural crown Argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "TÁVORA - TABUAÇO".
Meaning:
The symbolism is mostly trivial, with the Agnus Dei (English: Paschal Lamb) standing for John the Baptist, patron of the Catholic parish this commune was created from, the cherries stand for local cherry groves, and the wavy base, as usual, for the local river Távora. That is said to be also a nod to the Lords of Távora (very famously disgraced at the Court in the late 1750s), see

• here , whose original coat of arms was Argent (or also Or?) barruly wavy Azure. This commune is named after its seat settlement (as usual), the town of Távora, which in turn is named after the river, it was built on, which makes the arms partly canting.
