Hopi Masks: Hopi Tribe v. Neret Minet and Estimations and Ventes aux Encheres, a 2013 case note from the Art Law Centre, University of Geneva, is a university hosted legal case record documenting the Hopi Tribe's unsuccessful 2013 French court action to halt the Neret Minet auction house's Paris sale of Hopi katsina objects. Its strength is that it is a university hosted, specialist art law database's own record of the case's legal outcome. Its limit is that it documents the litigation's outcome, not an independent account of the objects' original ceremonial meaning, and it is supplementary here to the dedicated primary source on the companion Zuni Ahayu:da case.
