If a building’s roof has cornices, this is a decorative ledge. The cornice might be right at the top, as here, or have a parapet or wall above it.

The ornate carvings near the top of older buildings are often called ‘gargoyles’. In your first picture, we’re having a goose in the middle of the world. In your second picture, she’s hanging on top of a gargoyle. I don’t see her right, she’s a cow! The second movie is about Spider Man being painted like a gargoyle. From the Shorter OED:

A grotesque carving usu. XLIY XIX. In the form of a human or animal mouth, head or body, projecting from the gutter of a building esp. primarily in Georgian Gothic architecture. acting as a spout to drain off rainwater.

What exactly are you saying by roof, gutter? ”

If you are talking about the smallish demi-wall at the top of many buildings, that’s called a parapet.

From my teacher’s perspective this is a high relief. He is a professional artist. So that’s the artist’s point of view. I’ve heard it gargoyles as @JAM have mentioned.
