Help in identifing worth of hand sewn stitchery of Mount Fuji that was confiscated during WWII

Eileen received a gift of a cloth stitchery of Mount Fuji which was taken from a home in Japan. The confiscation happened in 1945 in Japan. An Army Major confiscated the drawing and brought it
back and gave it to his brother. It graced their walls for many years. Eileen took care of the man whom it was given to and he in turn gave it to her in his will. Eileen feels fortunate to have been his friend.
When she got it, she thought it had been a painting until she cleaned the original frame and found it was a stitchery art at its very best. It is all hand sewn and uses gold thread in places. She has a feeling it is very valuable and needs to know what insurance rates to keep it safe. The person who reframed it for her said it was very valuable. If anyone can help with identifying this piece of art or has any knowledge of how much it might be worth, please leave a comment. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Antique Mystery Bottle

I have had this vintage bottle for about 23 years. I was with my mother-in-law in her back yard when i looked down and saw a bottle half buired in the ground. Something just made me dig it up, which was not in my nature to do back when i was a 19 year old kid. But anyway I dug it up being very careful not to break it. After a lot of directions from my mother-in-law about how to get it out of the ground with the least amount of damage it finally came out with no damage at all. It did not have a chip on it. I have had this bottle setting in my china cabinet that she bought me ever since that day only taken it out to show people and on a few occassions i have taken it to antique shopes to see if they might could tell me what it was use for or what came in this bottle. No one i have ever talked to has had any idea what it could of been used for.

The design on the bottle is what makes it so unique. It is shaped like a large skinny perfume bottle but it has elephant heads and the tusks and trunks running down the bottle. The design is baked into the bottle not painted. Most antique dealers say perfume would not of come in the bottle because of the design on the outside. It is a solid color of light blue all the way through the bottle and the top looks to maybe have had a screw top but if it did it was only one ring around to screw the top on. So i quess it having that type of screw top makes it not as old as i thought, but i could be wrong about the top. The bottle had no top when i dug it up and can only guess what type of top it had.
