Giovan francesco capoferri based on a design by lorenzo lotto, absalom and the councilors achitofel and cusài. The inlay tells of absalom who, after having overthrown his father david and put him to flight, sits on the throne, while achitofel advises him to immediately pursue and destroy david and his followers, while husài, secretly faithful to the old king, with the aim of allowing him to reorganize the disbanded troops, suggests to absalom to stall to prepare for war. Thus it will be david who wins the final battle, while ahitofel, for not having been listened to, hangs himself. Inlays of the lay choir of santa maria maggiore in bergamo.
