It is a typical Portuguese communal flag, with the coat of arms centred on a plain yellow field.
Klaus-Michael Schneider, 21 Mar 2015

Coat of arms

Shield Azure, two wolves passant affronty Or between an orb Or garnished Gules in central chief and a rhomb Argent pierced by a circle Azure in base. Mural crown with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "FOJO LOBAL".
Meaning:
The wolves (Port: lobos) are canting elements. The orb probably is an attribute of Jesus Christ, who is the local patron saint as the Divine Saviour.
