I'm not sure if this is significant. This is kind of a follow up to this thread which talks about "Sotheby's cards" and it's unclear what is being referred to.
tl;dr: It appears Sotheby's art institution that Podesta "drew cards" for (whatever that means) is also an international realty firm connected to the house where the handkerchief was found:
(There are numerous other emails that talk about this get-together, just search for "vineyard" in wikileaks)
It appears whoever the "realtor" is who found the handkerchief also works for the art institute for which the Podestas were drawing cards ("Sotheby's cards" whatever that really means). This "realtor" sounds like they're in on it, having found the "handkerchief" and thus aware of whatever happened in that house.
Who is the realtor? Could it be an employee or manager at Sotheby's? Could Sotheby's be a one-stop shop for these people? They run real estate, art, and auction businesses, as well as wine and diamond trading.

If you're asking my opinion and what I deduce from it, then we'd have to go into the meaning of the word "mapping" and set up what was said starting with the realtor contacting Sandler:
"Subject: You left something at the Field house Susan & Herb I just came from checking the Field house and I have a square cloth handkerchief (white w/ black) that was left on the kitchen island. Happy to send it via the mail if you let me know where I should send it."
What the realtor says is consistent with doing her job. That's why I'm not suspicious. She's asking if it's theirs and giving a description. There's nothing to indicate the realtor is part of anything other than trying to make a commission, BUT here's where it gets interesting. Susan Sandler gets in touch with John Podesta and cc's this Eryn Sepp (again, why in heaven's name haven't we dug into this woman's involvement?) Here's the wording:
"The realtor found a handkerchief (I think it has a map that seems pizza-related. Is it yorus? They can send it if you want. I know you're busy, so feel free not to respond if it's not yours or you don't want it."
Here's where the coding comes it. "map that seems pizza-related". WTH would know what that means? You'd only know if you were involved in that seamy side of molesting children. That terminology is just not used in daily life -- just isn't. And the fact that she sends JP and Eryn Sepp this jargon without them writing back and asking, "WTH ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!!!" which would have been my reply -- proves that there's something going on. But you're asking me what? So here's my best guesstimate.
"Mapping" refers to a couple of things. I found this out from doing research because I certainly didn't know at the outset. Mapping refers both to the combination of colors that show the intentions of the pedophile/sexual predator, but there's a secondary meaning. The handkerchief is used to put under the child and collect bodily fluids. This evidence is soaked up into the handkerchief and the handkerchief is used like a trophy for said predator. Liken it to Monica Lewinsky's dress. So Sandler identifies key pieces of evidence: (1) that this handkerchief could have been someone else's in this group and not confined to Podesta: (2) that Podesta is the likely suspect because the color coded mapping would be consistent with his pizza-related activities; (3) that everyone in the group is aware of Podesta's pizza-related activities; (4) that if Podesta is using it as a signal for sexual preferences, he might want it back rather than buy another one to wave around or have hang out of a pocket; and (4) (this is the big one) that this might have been used (i.e., have collected fluid) and be a trophy in which case Podesta would really want it back.
Like I said, there's more to the email. I wanted to go into it in depth, but just haven't had the time to do the subject justice.
