Good evening!
I did add more photos let me know if you need anything else

Hello! 
I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal. 
Considering the photos, this item is:

A Thai standing Buddha (20”) with a base. The Buddha, whose original name was Siddhartha Gautama, was the founder of Buddhism, the religion and the philosophical system that produced a great culture throughout much of southern and eastern Asia.  Buddha, meaning "awakened one" or "enlightened one" is a title not a name.  In Hindu Dogma, the Buddha is viewed as being the 9th avatar of the Hindu god Vishnu.
The Buddha was a son of the rulers Sakyas.  He was married at the age of 16 and lived in luxury and comfort sheltered from the harsh realities of life.  When he was 29 he realized that men are subject to old age, sickness and death.  He became aware of the suffering inherent in existence.  He resolved to give up princely life and become a wandering ascetic (samana) in search for the Truth.

The essence of the Buddha's early preaching was said to be the four Noble truths: 1) life is fundamentally disappointment and suffering.  2) suffering is a result of one's desires for pleasure, power, and continued existence; 3) to stop disappointment and suffering on must stop desiring; and 4) the way to stop desiring and thus suffering is the Noble eight fold path - right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right awareness and right concentration.  The realization of the truth of anatman (no eternal self) was taught as essential for the indescribable state of release called nirvana.

It is not signed and thus is not possible to know the artist or origin. It is it overall fair condition with signals of age. It is possibly made out of copper/brass.

As it is not signed, it is not possible to determine the age exactly but it looks from 20th century, and made out of bronze, presumably.

PROVENANCE: Inherited.
$ 200 - 400

Hello Nora!
You can sell this item with us directly.
Buddhas can be either inside the house, or placed outside but they are symbols of protection and positiveness, there should not be any issue. If you still feel doubtful, you can still look for more information on Feng-Shui.
Also, this appraisal is for this item.
Finally, that depends on the statue itself, normally they are on the bottom of the statue.

Have a good day

Thank you so much!! Youbwere very helpful!
