Tel Hazor 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 Hazor illustrates the many layers of the site of Hazor by using varied textures created by fabric and other materials during the printing process. In the center, a basalt standing stone with two hands raised to the moon is shown as an example of the significant artifacts found at this site. It is surrounded by more standing stones, which were found in a room together during excavations at this site.
