The word “his” in that noun phrase (not a sentence) is an adjective modifying or describing the noun “mother.” In sole form, yes, it is a possessive pronoun, but in use it is an adjective. Remember that in English most of the the adjectives are placed before the nouns they describe (for example, “small, noisy child,” unless you make use of a clause after the noun, say, “the child who is small and noisy”).

Hope this helps you!
