      A toy rattleback of ellipsoidal shaped bottom is studied by using the frictionless Newton equations and spinning initial conditions without sliding in a plane. It is shown that the long-time behavior of such ratlleback is quasi-periodic and that a rattleback which starts with small transversal oscillations turns in the specified direction.
