Above this artistic illustration is the state motto, "Ditat Deus," which is Latin for "God Enriches." The design of this seal dates to 1912, the year Arizona was admitted to the as the 48th state. That date is obscured here by electric lights in a rotunda chandelier that are reflected by the seal's shiny ceramic tiles. The current design of state seal was updated at the turn of the 21st Century with the same elements but in more detail and with different colors than seen here.
