Musuri is a Korean term referring to female slaves in charge of odd chores in the court during the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasty of Korea.
Their main tasks were miscellaneous works such as drawing water from a well, making a fire in the fireplace or cleaning.
[1][2] Every palace had wells, and drawing water and delivering it as needed were an important part of a tomusuri's duty.
King Yeongjo was very sensitive about his mother's class during his lifetime, avoiding any mention of her humble origin.
They rolled up their hair into a cushion shape and wore a wide belt made of the same fabric as their clothes, with a tag (pae, 牌) on it.
