Influence of was-sceptre on the design of the tip of the derelict's engine

leading from

Alien: Wreck (Work 374 ) (1978) by HR Giger

and

Design of Giger's derelict,
H.R Giger's Egyptian Mysteries
and
 Was-Sceptre, the head of the alien?

Association made by me on 29th January 2015.  
I admit that I would have associated the engine 
design with a comical animal like thing some 
years ago as if it were some sort of a cute 
seahorse like thing looking smug.

This was-sceptre discovered in 1895 in  in the temple 
of set Ombos / Naqada, shown here on display at the 
Victoria and Albert museum in London.

Composition with alkaline glaze (faience).
Inscription naming pharaoh Amenhotep II 
(ruled 1427-1400 BC)
