The coat of arms depicts shield red with the Korab coat of arms in gold underneath mantle of Martin of Tours with a silver lining split in two by a sword to the right. The Korab is a commemoration of the Korab-Brzozowski family, whose lived in the noble neighbourhood of Brzozowo, the largest and most numerous in the territory of the present-day municipality of Poświętne, and the mantle of Martin of Tours refers to the history of the oldest parish located in Poświętne (formerly Wielkogryby), of whose be was the first patron. The red field of the shield is the same as in the Korab coat of arms, but red is also the colour of Mazovia and Podlachia.
