Here's my two theories:

There are several unnamed Dragon Priests in the game right? What if he lost his mask.

OR

If you look into Miraak's backstory it goes somethin like this:

Miraak was the TOP Dragon Priest (as in top of the statue) and was rewarded by being Dragonborn. He had a mask at this point. He then rebelled, LOST/DISCARDED his old mask, met hermaeus mora... we all know how this goes. He gets a new mask from Mora and tries to kill the Last Dragonborn in 4E 201 and then dies.

What I'm saying is: what if this is miraak's old mask, sealed away in fear that miraak would be too powerful if he regained his mask?
