This seems to be from a group made for the Corbel or Corbet family of France, all of whom had arms with three crows (corbeau meaning crow in French). See the Hodroff collection (D.S. Howard, op. cit., p. 47) and another in the Mottahedeh collection (Howard & Ayers, op. cit., p. 141). A similar group is known inscribed PAMEN for the Dutch family.
