Description

Pair Priests of Pallas Candlesticks from 1924
The Priests of Pallas was a week-long festival held annually in Kansas City from 1887 until 1912, and revived briefly from 1922 to 1924. Festival supporters set out to promote Kansas City's image as the “Athens of the West” and to parallel other celebrations such as New Orleans's Mardi Gras and St. Athene was the patroness of the festival and motifs were based loosely on figures from Greek mythology.
Festivities included parades with ornate floats, as well as numerous concerts, performances, and exhibitions. Nightly parties culminated with an elegant masked ball where guests received an official annual souvenir. Examples of some of these souvenirs can be seen in the Missouri Valley Room.
They are 10.25" tall and the bases are 4 5/8"
