The coat of arms of Timb� is prescribed by
Municipal Law No. 77 promulgated on 22 August 1950.
Article 2.
The
coat of arms of the municipality of Timb� is composed of a shield surmounted by
a mural crown proper to municipalities. A red Maltese cross quarters the shield
into four parts, in the center a blue escutcheon inscribed the date "26 de
marzo de 1894", or, the date of inauguration of the municipality. Since Timb�
was separated from Blumenau, its coat of arms is inspired from the arms of
Blumenau. So is the sinister lower field, featuring a flowering field
("Blumenau") on the bank of river Itaja� lit by the Southern Cross.
The
upper sinister quarter features the arms of Brazil.
The upper dexter field
features an anchor and a key, although parts of the arms of Blumenau, meaning
that, incorporated to the country and the state, patriotic Timb� moves with
Santa Catarina and Brazil to a glorious future patroned by the Cross of Christ
that saw the birth of a nation [...]
The lower dexter quarter features the
confluence of two rivers, Cedars' River and the Blessed River, where the
municipal seat is located, and a farmer. Timb� owes its prosperity to
intelligent and rational agriculture, which is highlighted by an ox drawing a
plow.
Industry, growing year after year, is symbolized by the cogwheel
superimposed by a blue scroll placed beneath the shield.
The scroll is
inscribed with the motto or "CLARA EX STIRPE", "Descending from an Illustrious
Branch", here, Blumenau [...].
Supporting the shield, sinister, tobacco
plants [...]. Dexter rice leaves and ripe panicles green and or. These are the
municipality's two main crops.
