Trying again.

ysobelleI asked about this a few years ago, and I figured, as I've had no luck, I might as well ask the LJ Netbrain Collective again.
Years ago, I had this fabulous little wooden box, about four inches square and six or so inches high. Completely sealed, no windows. Looks like nothing. But when you shake it, it has chimes inside, and the whole thing vibrates gently. It was absolutely wonderful and I loved it. But then there was this travelling musician, and he had near-convulsions over it, and I gave it to him. I figured I'd get myself another. That was almost eight years ago now, and I'm still looking.
I've heard it called a Japanese Meditation Box, I've heard it was made in Africa, I've heard all kinds of things. But no one knows what it was called definitively, which makes it hard as hell to track down. And searching for "chime box" gets you a whole lotta doorbells. If anyone has any ideas, or has seen something like this, I'd be unbelievably grateful if you could point me in the right direction.
Help!
ps: no, it's not this:
