Swedish description in the Heraldica record
I fält av silver en grön lind framväxande från ett grönt treberg.
The Heraldica wording is automatically assembled registry text. The municipality’s graphic manual confirms the historical basis in the 1645 charter and the colours lime green and white; the editorial text stays within those facts.

Information confirmed by the municipality
According to Lindesberg Municipality’s graphic manual, the arms are based on an image in the city of Lindesberg’s 1645 charter. The municipality identifies lime green and white as the arms’ two colours. The manual does not give a separate symbolic interpretation of the charge here.
The arms as part of the municipal identity
The municipality distinguishes the arms from its wordmark: the official logo combines the arms with the text “Lindesbergs kommun”. This account does not assign meaning to individual charges beyond what the source confirms.
Heraldic elements
The heraldic elements are identified using HERO, a heraldry ontology published through Finland's Finto service. It provides structured terminology for describing coats of arms and their components. The list describes the structure of the arms, not the symbolic meaning of its elements.
