This month’s issue features a look at Native American rings: their history and value as collectibles, by Paula Baxter. The cover features a vibrant selection from Baxter’s collection. These southwestern pieces are both art and souvenirs.

Also in this month’s issue, the “Halloween Queen” Pamela E. Apkarian-Russell delves into the virtuous career of the late Gladys Emerson Cook, and why artists should never sign their work in pencil.
