This is not the best angle to study her trapeze, but the eagle-eyed will spot one of Struppi's signature arrowheads, which she had on each end of her bar, signifying her Native American-themed Princess Tajana number.

And we don't have to be too eagle-eyed to notice Struppi does this heel-hang with no gimmicks.
