En realidad, es una escultura bastante moderna, una obra de arte llamada ‘Mano del Desierto’, creada por el artista chileno Mario Irarrázabal en honor a las víctimas de la injusticia y la tortura durante el régimen militar en Chile.

La escultura tiene una base de hierro y cemento y mide 11 m de altura. Financiada por la Corporación Pro Antofagasta, organización impulsora local, la escultura fue inaugurada el 28 de marzo de 1992. Se ubica a 75 km al sur de la ciudad de Antofagasta, y a 350 m de la Ruta 5, que atraviesa la meseta del Desierto de Atacama de norte a sur. Desde entonces se ha convertido en un punto de interés para los turistas que recorren la Ruta 5, que forma parte de la Carretera Panamericana. Desafortunadamente, la escultura es continuamente blanco de graffitis y, por lo tanto, requiere mantenimiento y limpieza frecuentes.
