Coat of Arms

[.gif)](../images/p/pt-tcsan%29.gif)image by António Martins-Tuválkin and Sérgio Horta, 5 June 2025

Shield Argent on a fess Sable three human figures statant Argent set per fess, accompanied in chief by two heraldic fountains and base by a "valley" Vert. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "ALDEIA NOVA - TRANCOSO".
Meaning:
The three figures are shown somewhat grotesquely, clothed and featured, arms straight down, resembling naive folk art sculptures of some sort (no idea what these correspond to in reality — will search). At the base one more of those "valleys" used in some Portuguese local coats of arms, like the reverse of a mound, or the view of a row of mounds, offset half frame sideways.
