Nearika are tablets of wood or bamboo which are heavily decorated placed into certain sacred areas. Often they focus on a face of a sun, moon or person.

Most outsiders are not aware that most Huichol patterns and designs have religious and cultural significance. When ceremonial or religious items are made, all aspects of the making from materials to colors to designs are important as they are identified with particular gods and meanings.

The Museo de Arte Popular in Mexico City held a temporary exhibit in comparing the art of the Huichol people with that of the aborigines of northern Australia entitled "Magica huichol: rito aborigen" "Huichol Magic: Aborigine Ritual".
