Tel Gezer is part of a four-print series titled Tel Suite by American artist Sandra Bowden. Each print in the series is an intaglio collagraph depicting an abstract interpretation of a biblical archaeological site, called a tel. Tel Gezer illustrates the many layers of the site of Gezer by using varied textures created by fabric and other materials during the printing process. In the center is an image of the Gezer Calendar, which dates to around 950 BC and lists the months by agricultural duties: planting, harvesting, etc. The lower section of the print depicts a burial site, one of many excavated at Gezer.
