The State Seal in Mosaic

10/27/2024

One of the finest renditions of Idaho’s famous state seal can be found on the Garden Level of the statehouse. Amidst marble floors, steps, and columns, a beautiful mosaic of the Idaho state seal adorns the central floor. The mosaic contains 9,750 hand-laid tiles leveled onto the floor during the capitol restoration in 2010.
