Description of the arms
The Heraldica record describes an inverted blue wedge on a silver field. This reports the registry wording; it does not compare the wedge with a particular drawing or assign it a meaning.

What the sources establish
The municipal sources checked here did not explain why the wedge was chosen or whether it refers to the municipality’s name. The account therefore stays with the form and colours stated in the record.
