Have a nice day and stress-free health.
In my humble opinion, it will definitely crack, the process has already begun and an irreversible state. There is a small chance, however, that even if it settles, it can hold together in small parts, but part will definitely be separated.
Here it is either or.
It's not just that every solution is bad and it's just a matter of preserving the fathers' heritage. I personally would put it between two thick felt fabrics or other semi-hard gums -and I would gently push either my palm or my finger or my hammer.
,, But in advance, pray that you light a candle and spit for good luck.,,

this bursts you squeeze the cracked seam and when you push the slack on the other side. ( so just push from the other side and just hope)
Keeping it in this state doesn't just make sense as an ornament -It is a destiny.
