In
2002, Mensah is appointed to weave a mini-textile collection
for the bookshopby of the Museo del Tessuto (Textile Museum)
of Prato, Italy, <www.po-net.prato.it/tessuto>.

mostly brocaded, by Mensah, following the symbols of the Ewe tradition and his personal
inspiration.

Moon, Crocodile Belly, Leaf, Eyes, Small Ship, Two plates, Bottle,
Cross, Flower, Coconut, Bed, Cup, Arrow,
