Quite an interesting CoA (and BoA): per pale, or and azure, an wagon wheel counterchanged. Any gipsy connection?...
Antonio Martins, 1 July 1999

From http://www.rk.ee/symb/karuvld.html: Colors refer to the historic connection with Järva- and Pärnumaa. Wheel refers to the name of municipality (Estonian käru is wheelbarrow). Wheel symbolizes also progress and motion.
