Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on December 18, 1990.

The arms were newly devised in 1990 and are canting, showing a vos (fox). The colours are those of the Land van Turnhout region, to which the village historically belonged.

The 18th century seals of the village all show St. Mary with child on a throne.
