This sculpture titled "The Work of Ten Thousand Hands" was donated 443 years ago by sculptor Áremle Raði. It began as a recreation of the famous ᚛ᚈᚑ ᚌᚐᚇᚎ, but the soft limestone Raði chose for the sculpture has been badly worn. The original chalk-inlaid carvings have been completely lost.

Unlike the artwork inside the museum, visitors are allowed — and encouraged — to touch this sculpture. When it was donated, Raði stated that the sculpture was a visual and tactile description of the importance of preserving art. At its current rate of wear, the sculpture is expected to be completely gone in another 4000 years. Raði requested that no funds be set aside for future recreations, so when the piece has been lost it will not be replaced.
