Arms (crest) of Bor (Sweden)

I blått fält ett treberg av silver, vari en svart kloförsedd hand uppskjuter, ovan åtföljt av ett dryckeshorn av silver, mot vilket från övre sköldkanten en hand av silver nedskjuter.

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted in 1957.

The arms are based on a local legend about a knight's meeting with a troll in the municipality.
