Description of the Shield

On a leather parchment in color ocher appear in white the silhouette of the map of the municipality and a list arrives of this with its name in gules. To the center the contour of the shield of the Mexican United States is appreciated, containing the silhouette of a spike of giant wheat of six grains inside.

Among the grains of the spike, to the skillful one they figure a horse, a bull and a goat, copies characteristic of the cattle raising of Jimenez; while among those of the sinister one a bean sheath, an ear and two wheat spikes, main agricultural products appear.

On the spike is an arrow tip remembering to the prehispanic inhabitants of the region.

A wheat plant and one of corn knotted by a tri-colored list, they finish off to the shield in their inferior part.
