Coat of arms of Aneby
The Heraldica wording for Aneby’s arms describes either a silver stream or a wavy-edged silver bar with a blue topographic mark on a blue field.
Swedish description in the Heraldica record
I blått fält en balkvis ställd ström av silver eller en genom vågskura bildad balk av silver belagd med ett blått topografiskt tecken.
This is the Swedish description in the Heraldica record. How it was composed and whether it is an official blazon have not been independently verified here. The editorial text distinguishes registry information from municipal or local interpretations.

The arms and their description
The Swedish text in the Heraldica record gives two wordings: a silver stream arranged as a bar, or a wavy-edged silver bar charged with a blue topographic mark. These alternatives are not combined here into a verified blazon.

Background in local sources
Aneby’s 2024 council minutes reproduce an interpellation by councillor Mikael Jansson that calls Stalpet a symbol in the municipal arms. The minutes record the speaker’s wording; the council did not adopt it as the arms’ official historical explanation.
