Itiba Tauvava holds a central place in Taino cosmology as the Mother Goddess and Earth Mother, embodying fertility, creation, and the nurturing essence of life itself. According to Taino beliefs, she is the mother of the "Cuatro Vientos" or Four Winds, celestial beings that symbolize the cardinal directions and the harmonious balance of nature.

These depictions often feature intricate details that highlight her role as a sustainer of life, adorned with symbols such as the coqui frog, symbolizing fertility, and plants like the ceiba tree, representing the connection between the heavens and the earth.
