Fixing a mirror

I have a vintage guitar shaped mirror that has one crack across the neck where it meets the body. It grieved me badly when this happened, dropped by a visitor. I was about to sling it and then wondered if I could fix it. Any advice or ideas?

Maybe drape a guitar strap artfully across the crack, op?

I thought of that today. I need to reassess the damage and exactly where it is

What's that japanese repair method called? You repair things with the join intended to be visible.

I love that Kintsugi. I might have to smash a few things to have a go at it!
Unfortunately the crack in the mirror is not where I thought, it is right across the main body of the guitar. I may have to bin it
