As you can see it shows different paths of the die cracks and is easier seen on the last OBV
To me it starts at her neck

Most cracks start at the tips of serifs, or sharp-angled letters (like A's) and from the edges of the denticles

You have to ask yourself, "How much longer could that die have lasted before flying apart?"
Rest in Peace
