The same figure also appears in an aged form that is explicitly associated with weaving; sources note this two‑aspect continuity (youthful fertility figure and aged weaver) but do not provide further iconographic detail in the provided excerpts.
Sources describe her as representing vital functions of the fertile woman and as presiding over eroticism, human procreation, and marriage.

Beyond these domains, the supplied materials do not enumerate specific magical acts, miracles, or procedural powers.
