I've been sick for a few days so I've been hanging out on the web more than usual. I read online about a new antique store near me and decided to get out of bed and go investigate. I rarely find tiki mugs around here, and certainly nothing rare (my best local find to date being a Bali Hai mug).

It turns out they had a single tiki mug, but what a mug: a Frankoma War God in Woodland Moss from the Cultured Pearl. I almost feel guilty with what I paid for it, but the seller knew what it was and knew it was rare, so my guilt is somewhat assuaged.

The likely reason for the low price was because it is cracked straight through the mug for about two inches. It's barely visible, but I don't want it to get any worse. I was thinking a drop of cyanoacrylate might stabilize it, but wanted to get the opinion of some of the experts on here. What's the best way to handle it, short of keeping it out of sunlight and temperature/humidity changes?
