Chisaluke is 'a male ancestral spirit that appears at the end of the mukanda male inititiation to review and refine the dancing skills of the initiates. [According to Jordán] each initiate may have his own Chisaluke [figure] serving as a personal tutelary spirit. Chisaluke is received in the village by women as a heroic character.'  See Jordán 1998: plate 96.
