The municipality’s interpretation of the design
The municipality interprets the arms as bringing together a tree, waterways, harbours, an ear of grain and the community. Its manual links the tree to local forests and forestry and also names Larvik’s beech forest. The silver drops are said to represent, among other things, clean water and former municipalities; these are the municipality’s interpretations, not parts of the blazon.
