Pieza armera, timbrada por un yelmo redondo, con labra en forma de media naranja al que acompañan dos amores que sostienen la tarjeta por la parte superior y posan sus pies sobre sendas cabezas de mastín.

A cada lado de la punta aparece el busto de un ángel; lleva adorno de lambrequines y cruz floreteada acolada.

El campo está sin dividir y en él pueden apreciarse los siguientes elementos:

1) En el cantón superior derecho una rueda (hoy esaparecida) sujeta a dos columnas, y debajo un árbol arrancado con dos animales arrimados al tronco y afrontados.

2) En el flanco izquierdo un águila explayada, surmontada de dos luceros de cinco radios, uno a cada lado de su cabeza, y debajo un castillo .

La rueda sujeta a las columnas y la mata de lino que suele llevar el águila en sus patas representan el lino o lugar de linares, topónimo que indica el rico cultivo de esta planta.

Piece of armor, stamped by a round helmet, with carvings in the shape of a better half accompanied by two loves who hold the card at the top and place their feet on two heads of mastiffs.

On each side of the point appears the bust of an angel; It is adorned with lambrequins and a floreted cross attached.

The field is undivided and the following elements can be seen in it:

1) In the upper right corner, a wheel (now disappeared) attached to two columns, and below an uprooted tree with two animals leaning against the trunk and facing each other.

2) On the left flank an extended eagle, surmounted by two stars with five rays, one on each side of its head, and below a castle.

The wheel attached to the columns and the flax bush that the eagle usually carries on its feet represent flax or the place of linares, a place name that indicates the rich cultivation of this plant.
