To Othello, a lady's handkerchief is a token of her loyalty. To this Moor, led by blind passions, superstitions and misguidance, the possibility for a chance of a lady's handkerchief being misplaced or lost does not occure and even if it occurs, not acceptable. That is why this unimportant matter of a handkerchief becomes important to him.
At the end of Act 3 in Shakespeare's Othello, the handkerchief is in Bianca's possession. She is a courtesan who receives it from Cassio. The handkerchief is significant because it was a gift from Othello to Desdemona and serves as a key plot point in the play as Iago uses it to manipulate Othello's emotions.
