reeded
With parallel ridges
Reeded describes a surface decorated with narrow, parallel ridges or grooves resembling bundled reeds.
The term appears most often in architecture and decorative arts: reeded columns, reeded molding, a reeded glass panel.
Coins may have reeded edges—the fine vertical lines around the rim that help prevent counterfeiting and clipping.
