Nierika means "face" or "vision" in Wixárika — a portal through which the mara'akáme (shaman) sees the sacred world. What began as small votive tablets of yarn pressed into beeswax to seal prayers for maize, deer and rain grew, through the 20th century, into large fine-art panels sold to collectors while retaining every ounce of ceremonial density. Every board is coated edge to edge in acrylic yarn over black wax so no ground shows through — deer, corn and peyote blossoms rendered in fluorescent pinks, teals and oranges, each shape ringed in a black yarn outline that makes the neon fills vibrate against the near-black field.
