This is the route most associated with Péalat’s legacy. The ram stood on a pedestal of granite,

It was dawn on a cirque lake so still the water looked like hammered lead. The ram stood on a pedestal of granite, thirty yards above him. Its body was the color of old pewter, scarred and massive. But the horns— mon Dieu , the horns—they spiraled past its jaw, past its shoulders, curling into almost two full revolutions. Each tip was blunted, like the end of a caveman’s club. Jacques later wrote in his surviving journal (the only artifact to be recovered): “It wore its age on its head like a crown. I wept. Not from joy. From the terrible weight of seeing something that should not exist.”

Unlike many medallists who focused on portraits or historical battles, Palais looked westward—specifically to the mountains of North America and the European Alps. He was fascinated by ungulates: sheep, goats, and ibex. His studio wall reportedly held dozens of skulls and horns, studying the spiral and the striation. This obsession culminated in the 1970s with a limited series of cast bronze and silver plaques featuring the sheep ( Ovis canadensis ).
