Hazor was a large Cannanite and Israelite city in Northern Galilee near Mount Hermon. The Bible refers to Hazor in the time of Joshua's battles. A Cannanite sanctuary was found in the lower city of Hazor which contained a number of basalt pillars, one with two hands raised toward a divine lunar symbol of a crescent moon and circle.

Israelite Tel Suite:
The Israelite Tel Suite is a collection of four intaglio collagraphs, depicting important archaeological sites relating to Biblical Israel. A tel is a mound covering the site of some ancient settlement, generally consisting of many layers of rubble and artifacts left by succeeding civilizations. Strata accentuated by horizontal lines divide the picture into three levels, forming a cross section of archeological time. In the Israelite Tel Suite, Bowden brings together earth and time, incorporating the present landscape of each site, finds embedded in a strata, and centered in each piece, a significant specific object relating to the tel's history. Each is a limited edition of 100 with 15 Artist's Proofs, printed on Arches Buff, 100% rag paper.
