In the upper left from the observer's view (heraldic dexter), above the arch, is a white bishop's mitre trimmed with gold and decorated with a cross. In the upper right from the observer's view (heraldic sinister), above the arch, are crossed yellow mining hammers.
Symbolism: The bishop's mitre refers to the historical ownership of the area by the Bishops of Wroclaw. The crossed mining hammers symbolize the local mining tradition in the Jeseník region. The yellow stone arch represents local architecture and masonry traditions.
