Drops of a ferrofluid floating in a non-magnetic liquid of the same density and spun by a rotating magnetic field are investigated experimentally and theoretically. The parameters for the experiment are chosen such that different stationary drop shapes including non-axis-symmetric configurations could be observed. Within an approximate theoretical analysis the character of the occurring shape bifurcations, the different stationary drop forms, as well as the slow rotational motion of the drop is investigated. The results are in qualitative, and often quantitative agreement, with the experimental findings. It is also shown that a small eccentricity of the rotating field may have a substantial impact on the rotational motion of the drop.
