    Wrong symbolism. You can put a flower in front of him or next to him, as a sign of respect, but please, not instead of the mirror
    I am sure you can kyratise a mirror for him.:happy: Otherwise, please leave him as he is. Cute as he is, he is still a spiritual figure.

    Most Bayu hilts I've seen are 'empty-handed', and no one really cares.
    I inherited a Bayu hilt, and his mirror hand is filled with clay-like mud from having been buried during WWII (the Germans raided homes for anything metal, and anything or anyone else). So he clearly didn't have his mirror in 1940.

    :happy::kiss:
    You're on the right track.:happy: The mirror is Baroqueish, but not as leaf-shaped as your aluminum cake mold cut out. Some examples here:

    I once used an aluminum cake mold for a keris sheath repair, btw.;)

    I'm as pleased as Bayu seems:happy: and the "mirror" isn't as pointy as it seemed first, pheew.
    Yet to get the matching greyish hue on the metal (ex mold:joyful:).
    Surprisingly, no swearing during the process, Bayu influence???:hilarious:
    I always keep strange things, hubby grumbles about it... But he now and then ask me " wouldn't you have something convenient to repair this or that?" HA!!!

    He's a GenZ Male, happy because he's checking himself out in the mirror and Insta-ing the image.
