La Mano (The Hand) is a sculpture in Punta del Este by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal.[3] It depicts five human fingers partially emerging from sand and is located on Parada 1 at Brava Beach[2] in Punta del Este, a popular tourist town in Uruguay.
It is also known as either Los Dedos (The Fingers), or Hombre emergiendo a la vida (Man Emerging into Life). In English, its popular name is The Hand.[2]
It is a famous sculpture[4] that has become a symbol for Punta del Este since its completion in February 1982[5] and in turn has become one of Uruguay's most recognizable landmarks.
