Shield Or, a branch of lily Vert blossomed Purpure, surrounded by four branches of hazel leaved Vert and fruited Gules, ordered 1:2:1. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll (Bénard Guedes style) with inscription in black capitals "AVELAL".
Meaning:
The commune's name is derived from "avelã", i.e. hazel nut. The arms are thus partially canting.
