The arms are Azure a bare forearm Proper in fess, in chief a marian crown Or gemmed Gules, in base a mattock's blade Argent. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "MANIGOTO".
Meaning:
The arms maybe partly canting as the word stem "man-" (archaic and/or etymologic for "mão", "hand") is present in the toponym.
