Chaotic motion of top with displaced mass center

 The motion of solid body with a small displacement mass center from the axis of dynamic symmetry has been studied. Analytical conditions for the existence of a hyperbolic singular point in the phase portrait of the system and the analytical solution for the separatrices have been obtained. Body makes a chaotic motion near separatrices under the influence of small perturbations caused by the asymmetry of the body.
