Folding rotationally symmetrical tableaux via webs

Rectangular standard Young tableaux with 2 or 3 rows are in bijection with $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$-webs and $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_3)$-webs respectively. When $W$ is a web with a reflection symmetry, the corresponding tableau $T_W$ has a rotational symmetry. Folding $T_W$ transforms it into a domino tableau $D_W$. We study the relationships between these correspondences. For 2-row tableaux, folding a rotationally symmetric tableau corresponds to "literally folding" the web along its axis of symmetry. For $3$-row tableaux, we give simple algorithms, which provide direct bijective maps between symmetrical webs and domino tableaux (in both directions). These details of these algorithms reflect the intuitive idea that $D_W$ corresponds to "$W$ modulo symmetry".
