I bet thats where Lorne got the idea from. Usually there is a lot of research that goes into the process of makeing a character before drawing it. I am sure the artists probabally found similar pictures of shrunken heads and then interpreted that into the design for Abe. You will see a lot of things that resembel earth things. Simply because of research materal. Thats where you get the resemblence from.
