Province : Oost-Vlaanderen
Incorporated into : 1977 Lierde

(1818) Van lazuur, beladen met een brandend hart van zilver, in welks midden een koornschoof, en en chef verzeld van een kroon waarop een hart, alles van goud.
(1846) D'azur, à un coeur d'argent enflammé d'or, chargé d'une gerbe de sinople, surmonté d'une couronne d'or sur laquelle repose un coeur de Jesus, de même.

The arms were granted on August 4, 1818 and were confirmed on December 20, 1846.

The arms show a heart of Jesus, a symbol of the devotion of the population, but without historical significance.
