She then brings forth a basket of eggs, and passes them around for inspection to assure her spectators of their genuineness.

The monotonous music commences and the dancer sets the wheel on her head in rapid motion; then, taking an egg, with a quick movement she puts it on one of the running knots and increases the velocity of the revolution of the wheel by gyrations until the centrifugal force makes each cord stand out in an almost horizontal line with the circumference of the wheel.

Then one after another she places the eggs on the knots of the cord, until all are flying about her head in an almost horizontal position.

At this moment the dance begins, and it is almost impossible to distinguish the features of the dancer.

She continues her dance, apparently indifferent to the revolving eggs.
